voted in an opposition party at their next election which was rumoured to have certain Al Qaeda ties.

Rumoured by whom, and are they safely in a padded cell? The PSOE (Spanish Socialist Party) is a left-wing bunch who came to power after the ruling right wingers (who'd backed Bush over Iraq against the opposition of about 97% of the Spanish people) initially blamed ETA for the Madrid train bombings - it's likely that if the blame hadn't been apportioned wrongly the right wingers would have got in (it was very close up till then).
It's unlikely that al-Qaeda, which stands for extreme religious conservatism and the elimination of democracy, would be associated with a secular democratic progressive left-wing party committed to rolling back the power of religion in Spain. As in as unlikely as Elvis being found on Mars.
Oh, and back to the thread - did NitroNutter intend it imply that he spend the evening in a club with lots of sweaty men with hard poles and Graham spend it with a gaggle of mildly intoxicated ladies in an excited condition? I'll take the bingo anyday, red blooded male that I am.*
