"The president of small euro zone nation Estonia took to the Twitter-sphere on Thursday to launch a bitter attack on renowned economist Paul Krugman after the U.S. Nobel laureate questioned the Baltic state's economic recovery from a deep crisis. "Let's write about something we know nothing about & be smug, overbearing & patronizing: after all, they're just wogs," President Toomas Hendrik Ilves said in a post on the social networking site early on Thursday. "Let's sh*t on East Europeans: their English is bad, won't respond & actually do what they've agreed to & reelect govts that are responsible," he added later." - Jessie from Bookmarklet
