"Dear NME, Was [reviewer]
at the same gig as me?"I felt the same way about our Dear Leader's alleged description to Rupert Murdoch of the BBC's news coverage of
Hurricane Katrina. Apparently the Beeb spent its time "gloating" at the Americans and chuckling itself senseless over the New Orleanseans' plight. If we "move forward"
[triple c*nt score] on the basis that Tony actually watched some of this coverage himself, and didn't just rely on a bilious anti-BBC précis from a researcher, it's hard to conclude anything other than that he's going mad. Granted, there was a lot of anger at the failures of the US adminstration, but no more than that displayed by the American networks—and the idea that there was any kind of crowing is so outright
demented we need a new word for it.
Applying the same filter Tony appears to have used, "In his
World Bank post,
webofevil is gloating uncontrollably over (the Democratic Republic of) Congo's problems, has professed a passionate loathing for anyone of African descent, remorselessly slaps puppies in the face, and hunts down and kidnaps bowel cancer victims in order to ream their eye-sockets."
Next week: why we can otherwise trust Tony on
everything else ever.
