Sharpe's Opinion
Monday, 23rd Mar, 2009
Via Croydonian, it’s the list of the world’s biggest losers – Brown is Number 101, beaten by such disgraces as Bernard Madoff, The Pope and Josef Fritzl. However, it’s their description of Brown that I find most amusing…
It’s hard not to feel bad for the guy. This is due in part to the fact that he is Britain’s first prime minister who is also part basset hound. Also, he had to follow Tony Blair who was quite telegenic and appealing, particularly in that phase of his career when he was being played by Michael Sheen. (Less so later when he was being played by one of George W. Bush’s hand-puppets.) Still, Gordon did accept the job of PM, did screw it up to a fare-thee-well and now is on the verge of blowing his last big moment on the public stage as he prepares to host a G20 Summit that is very likely to realize somewhere between zero and few of his grand ambitions for it.
…And that’s without mentioning DVDgate!

Re Fritzl: did anyone else notice the Justiz sign above the chatty Austrian authorities? See http://www.bmj.gv.at/EN/?glng=EN for red-with-black SS.
Der Papst ist zweit – vot ist going on? Should have had the G20 in the village near Salzburg named *******, a place not far from the town of Petting. Remember to pass your mouse across the asterisks to see actual name.
I think DVDgate (nice term – like it) got a mention in the comments to the mag’s article.
