For weeks there were rumors that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and current Foreign Secretary David Miliband would be named to the top two EU positions. Instead, European leaders chose Catherine Ashton and Herman van Rompuy, nicknamed "Rompuy-pumpy" by British tabloids and best known for Flemish-language haikus published on his blog.
"The EU member states have talked themselves into choosing two very competent, able, and — frankly — rather boring choices for these two new roles," said Richard Whitman.
