...wagon to the ceremony and, through the some mind-numbing plot contortions, is declared the new kung fu hero. There must be some mistake. He's a clumsy doofus for whom rising from a supine position can take all morning.

Most pollsters and political analysts predicted the defeat of the Democrats, who came under heavy fire after the formerly Serb province of Kosovo declared independence on February 17 and was recognized by most E.U. countries. During the campaign, Kostunica and the Radicals portrayed the E.U. as an evil empire bent on stealing a part of Serbia, while Tadic was labeled as traitor who was ready to sacrifice Kosovo for a distant promise of E.U. membership.
