“What a wuss!”

Simon Schama calls out[1] David Dimbleby during the BBC’s US election coverage. There were times when he appeared drunker—riling neocon darling John Bolton, who was sat next to him, in the process—but few when he sounded quite so silly.


[1] Not really.

Come on, Richard. Enough of the queer-bashing. We've spoken about this before.

Did you see the interview with Gore Vidal?

Schama sounds only a little silly - but not as silly as Dimbleby's response ("a rather curious historian") is insufferably pompous. And Schama was right! Dimblebore got all touchy because he was suddenly surrounded by people who realised how stupid he was.
