Joke of the week?

Hans-Gert Pottering, president of the European Parliament, is bustling with excitement over the rise of American interest in EU politics:

"It would be wonderful to think that the intense interest with which Europeans are following today's US presidential election might be matched by Americans watching the European parliamentary elections in June 2009."

Right. I would be surprised if Europeans show the same level of interest as they have shown in the American elections, nevermind Americans themselves.
