General Assembly, that well-known den of debauchery, it was not OK to inflict him on them benighted, retardatary Luxies.
That the Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg send a letter of thanks to Johnny Ashcroft, along with a fat check for his next political campaign (made out to Bob Jones U., lest Johnny be forced to register as a Foreign Agent).
In truth, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, a Christian Democrat who supports "domestic partnerships for all," queers included, is itching to sue Johnny Ashcroft for defamation of his country's character.
