POLAND / VATICAN : FM Complains About Priest's EU Comments.

AP

For the first time, Poland's Foreign Ministry has sent the Vatican a note accusing a priest of "harming the image of Poland abroad".

The Rev. Tadeusz Rydzyk, once accused of fomenting anti-Semitism through his ultra- conservative, Catholic radio station Radio Maryja, made the comments at the European Parliament last week.

He called the country a totalitarian state that "hasn't been ruled by Poles since 1939" — which some say is  code for saying Jews are running the country.

POLAND: A Defeated Jaroslaw Kaczynski Returns To Old Form-- As Barking Junk Yard Dog.

G.POST/ JAN CIENSKI /
    Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the recently defeated presidential candidate, admits his campaign was a dismal failure. So he has fired his staff and shifted blame for the defeat to his use of "powerful, calming drugs" after the tragic death of his brother in a plane crash.
   “I was in a terrible state of shock after my brother's death — nothing worse could have ever happened to me in my life. I had to take very powerful calming drugs — which had its effects,” Kaczynski told Polish Newsweek. “I was in such a state that, honestly, the election campaign was thought up for me.”
    He has also returned to his old behavior-- attacking like a vicious junk-yard dog.
   Kaczynski again is calling Poland nothing but "a German-Russian condominium."
    He also calls President Komorowski and Prime Minister Donald Tusk “evil people,” saying that he will never shake Komorowski's hand, and accusing the government of being responsible for the air crash that killed his twin brother.

The radio station has been controversial because of anti-Semitic comments made by some of the station’s guests and the people who call in to the station’s live programs.
