Swedish diplomat wants you to know he doesn't like Florida's death penalty

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt is angry at Florida. He’s tweeting out a link to the European Union’s condemnation of the execution of mass murderer John Ferguson.

Not a word about the eight people that Ferguson killed execution-style, by the way. Not even so much as a passing nod to their deaths. Just that Florida is bad and this poor man should not have been killed.

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised at Mr. Bildt’s tone-deaf shot across the Atlantic. Apparently, he’s such an egomaniac that former President George W. Bush was coached to pretend to be impressed by him and American diplomats were told to play on his self-image to “keep him in a good mood.”

It only stands to reason that he wishes to preach from his ivory tower to all of us immoral cretins, since he is such a legend in his own mind.
