The driver and our German tour guide — a starchy old dude retired from the foreign ministry — seemed kind of apalled but she said “that’s a lesson in the American can-do spirit.” It felt very true to me at the time & I’m just agog at how we’ve landed in this floundering state. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyways, I can’t find the Mentos ad that was vaguely similar to this anecdote but here’s the Foo Fighters video parodying it. A great nation shouldn’t settle for “better than Italy” or “that would never work here." https://t.co/0yQ6uHNlZr — PolitiTweet.org
