Kneel Before Zod!

Worship me or I'll hold my breath and kick my feet until I turn blue!

His entire life, chimpy has never done anything that wasn't fixed before the start.

If you can't show him a certified script declaring him the winner, he refuses to play and takes Daddy's oil derrick and goes home.

George Bush pulled out of a speech to the European Parliament when MEPs wouldn't guarantee a standing ovation.

Senior White House officials said the President would only go to Strasbourg to talk about Iraq if he had a stage-managed welcome.

A source close to negotiations said last night: "President Bush agreed to a speech but insisted he get a standing ovation like at the State of the Union address.

"His people also insisted there were no protests, or heckling."

"I believe it would be a crucial speech for Mr Bush to make in light of the opposition here to war. But unless he only gets adulation and praise, then it will never happen."

Mr Bush's every appearance in the US is stage-managed, with audiences full of supporters.

It was hoped he would speak after he welcomed Warsaw pact nations to Nato in Prague last November. But his refusal to speak to EU leaders face-to-face is seen as a key factor in the split between the US-UK coalition and Europe.

The source added: "Relations between the EU and the US are worsening fast - this won't help."

 
Yup....the "adults" are in charge.  :D

LOL...I was just doing that!  Hmmm...seems Mr. Gilfeather writes for the Daily Mirror.  One of our UK members please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is a tabloid paper that is only slightly more respectable than The Enquirer.

"It's a good day to bury rivals..."
In today's Lobby briefing, Godric Smith makes reference to the The Mirror's story today about the Sixsmith affair, and his approval of it: "the PMOS said that the Mirror's account today put things into context."

Key quotes from The Mirror article:


Martin Sixsmith wanted to take total control of the Transport Department's press operation. He had hoped to keep his plotting secret. But The Mirror is exposing his role after he misled us.

Sixsmith wrongly claimed Moore was the main recipient of an email warning against burying bad news on the day of Princess Margaret's funeral. He also lied to us about the wording of the message.


The author of The Mirror story is Paul Gilfeather. The same journalist who in 2000 was voted Bigot of the Year by MIND, the mental health charity. The citation reads: "Paul Gilfeather's article was inaccurate and used twisted facts. He made the briefest attempt to get a balance, but this was a token. The worst part of the piece was the use of emotive language that confirmed old and ill-placed prejudices." Probably not the best source to rely on for accuracy, then. But it certainly suggests that there is more to come.
