Great find M~ And funny too! The Mayor was once known as Red Ken for his inability to resist skating along the fringe of common sense on any given political issue. Margaret Thatcher found him so annoying, she abolished the entire Greater London Council largely to get rid of him.

The Brits are terrific......well, the ones we've met to date are..... Kelly McParland can certainly turn a phrase, as they say..

Guess that doesn't include Mr Ken Red.......<g>

Bushes speeches are grand but when he speaks off the cuff it is uncomfortable for a former liberal easterner to listen. Having said that, I had the same trouble with Reagan and i got over it. Not everyone goes to Yale and some who do speak in tongues. <g> Mike

Oddly, it took The Guardian, a bastion of the left that has opposed everything about Mr. Bush short of his birth, to burst the bubble yesterday. Clenching its teeth, it reported the results of a public opinion poll it clearly had hoped would turn out differently.


rotflao! This is evidence, that despite wearing its political agenda on its sleeve, The Wanker (aka The Guardian) is a good paper, because it reported the results, and didn't try to spin them with an anti-Bush headline - something I've seen the The New York Times do several times in the last couple of years with surveys whose results weren't anti-Bush enough for their tastes.
