Spain Forgets the Legitimate Role of Government

We knew that the Spanish government was going downhill when the Spanish people replaced their solidly sensible Prime Minister José María Aznar with the kooky and divisive José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.

The Spanish government has now managed to make itself look foolish across the entire European Union.

The “Womens Institute” of the Spanish government is complaining to the Irish and EU governments about a swimsuit calendar published as a charity fundraiser by a group of RyanAir employees.

The calendars are available on RyanAir flights and on the Internet at RyanAirCalendar.com.

Proceeds from the sales of the calendars go to Angels Quest, a charity benefiting disabled Irish children.

So let’s get this straight — the government of Spain is wasting Spanish taxpayer dollars to bring a complaint to the EU regarding an Irish calendar.

The busybodies in the socialist Spanish government should practice minding their own business.

Even if it was a Spanish calendar, this idiocy would fall outside the legitimate role of government. The Spanish people should be looking at their government and asking “Why are you idiots wasting our money with this stupidity?”
