here it is in Polish.
Maybe you guys have a link to the English version.

I wonder what you make of his opinion? I thought he was a bit more
talented...But this style of journalism is really not my cup of tea, so to
speak..

      He looks like a conjoined twin on that photo.

      The article is a bit simplified, but it's for Americans.

        if you have the link, post it smile
        I think he made an idiot of himself, but there you go..

          Quite frankly, if you write for idiots, you have to make an idiot of yourself
          to get on their level.

          Lis himself may be able to do better work, but he is not Konrad Korzeniowski,
          and might do better in his native tongue.

      you think WSJ is for idiots?

        I think it's a newspaper, Maggie. Show me the newspaper that doesn't have a
        liberal sprinkling of idiocy.

          Hi guys:
          read the original in "paper" version. Would you please abstain from offending
          my neighbors' reading levels? smile smile smile
          Most papers here, if they go above the 6th grade reading level, cannot sell
          well. Actally, NYT and WSJ are supposed to be very elitist by this country's
          standards. Sad but true.

      I shouldn't probably take part in that discussion since I have a very limited
      idea of what's going on in the political scene in Poland.I have to admit though
      that the guy has a good point when bringing up the Pope's Hitler Jung history
      as opposed to Donald Tusk grandfather's history of German collaboration. Why do
      people get so hung up on Donald's grandfather? Mr. Tusk himself had absolutely
      nothing to do with the Germans. In fact, he wasn't even born at the time! Was
      anybody ever critisizing the Pope for what he had done during the war? I guess
      not because the Pope couldn't possibly have done anything wrong, right? I am
      not here to judge the Pope by any means but what's good for the goose is good
      for the gander as far as I am concerned.
      As for the style of the article, I would reserve my opinion until I see the
      original write up in English. It's a translation and it might not be a good one
      at that. Who knows. I would like to see how it reads in English first before I
      voice my comments.
      Besides all that, I really like his play on words with Duck and Donald. I think
      it's pretty good!

        I thought it underlined the Mickey Mouse journalism that was going on there.
