Just a thought on that CBS Bush memo

Although not a cunning parliamentary plot and a little off this blog’s topic, the controversy over in the New World set methinking. If I was a lowly military psy-ops operator or a cunning spinner for Karl Rove, I would have been tempted to set up some liberal media outlet like CBS or the New York Times in just this way. Its not exactly the famous Zinoviev letter, but more a reverse Zinoviev letter.

Whereas the, in all probability, false Zinoviev letter linked the incumbent Labour government vaguely with the Comintern’s dastardly plans, the CBS memo vaguely confuses the Kerry campaign’s planned smears in the public’s eyes as false

Both the letter and the memo contained some truths – all the better to smear. Nice bit of black arts work Karl. Or a crap piece of smearing if indeed it did come from the Kerry camp.

Fox Hunters Break into Commons Chamber

Five Fox Hunting protestors have broken into the Commons chamber during the debate to put their views very directly to Alun Michael, the shocked leader of the Hunt Sabs on the government bench. Democracy in action! (Strong smell of cider about.) Does obviously beg the question – what is going on with security? Batman at Buckingham Palace, angry hunters in the Mother of Parliaments. Guido suggests gunpowder under the chamber rather than shouting at ministers might be more effective…

Lib Dem Utopia

The Telegraph calls it Lib Dem Utopia, but its more like a wish list without a price tag. I love the Lib Dems, crazy policies, but with an unbreakable hold on the more wooly-minded voters.

Farewell Estelle and Good Riddance

Estelle Morris is stepping down as an MP, before everyone eulogises her, let me say good riddance. She was out of her depth. She was like an annoying earnest, naive, student union hack. As for her honesty;

I am tremendously proud of the achievements of the Labour Government and the contribution I have been able to make in two Departments of State

Like what? What did Estelle achieve? Answers on comment posting please.

I have not lost my enthusiasm or energy for politics

Liar, why are you quitting if you are so bloody enthusiastic?

The people who lose out from choice are the good hard-working families

Really, are working class people families better off from having no choice? One local comprehensive, one waiting list for the local hospital and one underfunded state pension. No choices. Farewell Estelle Morris MP, you and your idiotic droning won’t be missed.

Once Upon a Time…

Once upon a time there was a King, his daughter the Princess was very unhappy. The King was very busy waging war on his enemies. The Princess ate a poison apple. The King was very worried and full of despair. But the Princess awoke. The King told all his Knights to keep it secret. The Knights only hinted at it. Then a Lord bragged about it. The King was very angry.
