Hard-luck Ali.
In 2006, he had to apologise to an entire country after suggesting in a Telegraph column that Papua New Guinea was known for "cannibalism and chief-killing". He ruefully promised to add the nation "to my global itinerary of apology".
and
It was an unsigned Spectator editorial, accusing the citizens of Liverpool of wallowing in their "victim status" over the murdered Iraq hostage Ken Bigley, which finally did it.
and
A crusade by TV chef Jamie Oliver to improve school dinners had been praised by Mr Cameron at the start of the conference.
So when Johnson told a fringe meeting "if I was in charge I would get rid of Jamie Oliver and tell people to eat what they like", it was seized on by the media as another howler.
For once we agree: he's my kinda guy too.
notice how boris has none of the goody-two-shoes honor and shmamily, clean-as-a-whistle, god and country, lapel pin, holier-than-thou characteristics that make some american conservatives seem so hopelessly ridiculous.
He da man, I say.
Sounds like a FCP GUT, then. Take a look at the pic of him I put, and see if this guy like any Ricain politico...
GUT?
Grand Unified Theory. It's an Einstein thing. Or perhaps, Coanda.
of course. sorry a bit slow in the am.
Note how fucking obsessed the article is with — ahem — noble descent. He sounds like a decent mayor. I'm more interested in what he accomplished himself rather than what his inbreeding noble ancestors did.
Pepe, get this, too: last night Steve Colbert made a good point. I'll tell you, I'm still voting for McCain, but Colbert took Catholic Hannity and O'Reilly to task for ripping on Obama not denouncing the Right Reverend Wright (a true nut-job). What Colbert said was something to the effect of, "Yes, and if Hannity and O'Reilly were members of a religious order that tried to cover up pedophilia and burning witches, I'll bet they'd denounce it and leave right off, too."
Isn't religion wonderful! (sarcasm in this last sentence as it seems not to translate well on this blog)
JJ, could you forward Pepe's e-mail to my Yahoo! account? Pepe said to go ahead and send it some posts back.
MFT: Why not read the articles I linked to (such as #2 above), instead of blowing smoke about English noblemen?
As for that pathetic anti-Catholic rant by Colbert, it's really beneath me to try to argue with such crap.
Burning witches mft? Who wasn't burning witches back then? Probably only the lonely contemporary mft-equivalents that already thought slavery was wrong and so on.
Can we get past cunts like Maher and Colbert? Political satire has its place, but so vicious as these guys is repulsive.
They remind me of the idiots that hate islam so absolutely that they are willing to say anything (like BHO and so forth).
McCain's guy can call the Catholic Church a whore and be close to a president. He's not nuts deep in Mac's butt like Jeremiah is in Obama's.
Also, what Jeremiah says is a lot worse.
Hey, JJ, you're starting to make sense! Que pasa, burning the midnight oil sharpens the mind?
Yes, McCain's pastor eruption (for those of you too young to remember, Bubba used to have bimbo eruptions -- it's a long story) pales by comparison, though that idiot Hagee deserves to be tarred and feathered:
Hagee did identify (the Great Whore of) Babylon as Rome in his book From Daniel to Doomsday (1999), in a way that melded reference to the Roman Empire and the Roman Catholic Church: "The evidence would point to Rome...It was Rome where Nero wrapped Christians in oily rags and hung them on lampposts, setting them ablaze to light his gardens. It was Rome that orchestrated the Crusades where Jews were slaughtered...It was Rome that orchestrated the Inquisitions throughout the known world where "heretics" were burned at the stake or pulled in half on torture racks because they were not Roman Catholic."
Getting back to Boris, here's a quote for Pepe's benefit: “Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3.” Do you think McCain would ever say that?
On the other hand, I can visualize JJ saying, “Tomorrow we’ll work like crazy, but tonight we’ll have a drink.”
AI, thank you for finding purported similarities between myself and the thoroughly admirable (actually, I'm envious as hell) mayor of London. (BTW, I think he was the schmuck that fired Steyn from the Speccie--Steyn is still smarter).
BUT, could you help my little mind figure out the Hagee quote? Is he saying all the sins of the Catholic Church are Rome's?
In a way, he would be right. The CC is a syncretization of Christianity and Roman paganism. It's what makes me find it least offensive among the religions (except for the pedophilia). It's what allows Catholics to have beautiful churches and great architects while the real Christians of Calvinism relive the Calvary every time dinner gets served.
This is a pretty smart thing to say coming from a creep, and I guess I like that.
But then why the tarring and feathering? He's criticizing the unchristian aspects of a purportedly Christian church as a Christian. Sounds ok to me.
You are right in saying I'm right that this is a lot better than Jeremiah going up and saying Jesus was for killin' whitey.
If mft and Pepe think these ideas are equivalent, they ought to walk out in front of Jeremiah's church right after services and compare to the same at Hagee's.
I suggest they go by Hagee's first so they'll get a chance to complete the experiment.
AA went to UC and so knows how Farrakhan's friends behave when confronted with an unpleasant skin color.
I'm all for the Grand Unification of Christianity and the Roman Empire. And also with the Byzantine Empire -- let's not forget the other major branch of Christianity
(I don't count the other modern offshoots here, they must wait to be at least 1,000 years old to really count). Hagee is a putz -- what does he know? Let him eat haggis.
Thinking deeply...
