I had to read this sentence three times before it made sense:
Mr. Bush is popular in countries like Georgia, where his vision of spreading democracy is embraced, and seems a lot looser than in his visits to Germany and France.
I should be the last person commenting on things like this, but this seemed particularly awkward.

Kimmitt
It’s grammatically correct as well as extremely funny.

Old version: “and seems a lot looser than in his visits to Germany and France.”
My new version: “and HE seems a lot looser than in his visits to Germany and France.”
More better Kimmitt?
