4,000 Holes...

Now 4,001. Condi Rice ("Ho-ho, hey-hey, how many kids did you kill today?") visits the UK and gets the royal rasberry from the locals.

Rice Tours Land of 4,000 Potholes

Rice on Saturday spent a second day touring the town made famous in a Beatles song for its "4,000 holes," still dogged by protesters opposed to the war in Iraq. As she met with a small group of Muslim leaders in Blackburn's town hall, the raucous shouts of the 300 demonstrators outside could be heard through the windows. The leaders said they gave her an earful on U.S. policy in the Middle East.
