How's This For Political Rhetoric

So you think American political rhetoric is too extreme?

"Witches will head to the Danube to put a hex on the [Romanian] government and hurl mandrake into the river 'so evil will befall them'" following the government's decision to levy a tax on witchcraft. Fortune-tellers will also be taxed, but, as the paper notes, they "should have seen it coming."

Do you suppose the witches are from the Christine O'Donnell wing of the international Tea Party?
