A "Wise" Group of Politicians

They will just keep on flogging that dead horse, the constitution.

Work on the EU constitution is to begin again in an informal manner when a "wise" group of politicians and officials from across Europe meet this weekend to see if they can come up with solutions to pull Europe out of its institutional impasse.

Ok, so wise politician is a difficult concept, but just imagine you were asked to come up with a list of such people.

The group also includes British ex-commissioner Chris Patten, former French foreign minister Michel Barnier, ex-German justice minister Otto Schily, former prime ministers Paavo Lipponen and Wim Kok of Finland and the Netherlands.

What do all these people have in common? The are all wild eyed federasts, the very antithesis of Wise. Chris Patten deciding on the future of Europe? Why am I not convinced. Just give it up, it'll save you the hassle of being voted down again.
