Zapatero already more notorious than Chamberlain–in the US
Skip to: comments (0); categories; related posts; previous/next postJohn Chappell suggests (scroll quickly past the bizarre homophobic rant) that “pull a Spain” (”hacer una españolada“) is becoming the new “pull a Chamberlain”, an expression for poorly reasoned cowardice. That’s clearly true for Americans in pyjamas, but doesn’t yet apply to British+ anklebiters. Here are the official results (in ghits) from the gorpus:
| a Zapatero | a Chamberlain | a Spain | |
pull ( ) |
15 | 8 | 378 |
do ( ) |
11 | 21 | 53 |
I think that you probably already have a rough idea of what you will find if you Google “do a Bush”.
