One of your conivial hosts was intending to destroy the one-eyed Scottish idiot (you’ve got to love Jeremy for that classic) for his performance in a joint session of Congress.

However TheEye loved Pete Moore’s effort so much that there was no point in him bothering.

All of the following is from the always recommended A Tangled Web.

Americans – I apologise. In abasing myself before you I represent all over here. I beg your endless pardons, plead your forgiveness and …. sod it, you can keep him. Has anyone ever witnessed such a fountain of meaningless drivel in their lives? I talk, of course, of Gordon McMugabe and that torrent of first class blather to which he subjected Congress today (has the fool whose idea that was been taken out and kicked half to death yet?)

“And on January 20th, you the American people began to write the latest chapter in the American story, with a transition of dignity, in which both sides of the aisle could take great pride. President Obama gave the world renewed hope, and on that day billions of people truly looked to Washington D.C as “a shining city upon a hill”.

Oh please, who wrote this tosh? Probably Brown himself, well known as he is for shredding the efforts of his wordsmiths before composing his own furiously, fingers a blur on the laptop. And that was only 10 seconds in.

“Not an alliance of convenience, but a partnership of purpose. Alliances can wither or be destroyed, but partnerships of purpose are indestructible.”

What is this rubbish?! Good grief. Maximum Idiot had standing ovations from Congress for this? Maybe it was desperation in making for the buckets:

“And so I say to this Congress and this country, something that runs deep in your character and is woven in your history, we conquer our fear of the future through our faith in the future.”

My fear of the future mainly revolves around this idiot returning home, and I don’t mean to Fife and retirement, for here’s a man at the helm of the HMS Britannia and it’s full steam ahead for the iceberg:

“In the depths of the Depression, when Franklin Roosevelt did battle with fear itself, it was not simply by the power of his words, his personality and his example that he triumphed.”

No, it was by the power of him popping his clogs so taxes could be slashed when he was gone.

“And when banks have failed and markets have faltered, we the representatives of the people have to be the people’s last line of defence.”

Please, no. Just step aside. Stay away.

“Our task is to rebuild prosperity … “

Here we go again. Economic prosperity is the wellspring of our wants and needs. It has nothing to do with government. All government can do is drain private wealth and misallocate scarce resources, which is what it did for decades here and over there before our private economy could take no more and the markets found their own solutions.

Please, keep him.

Classic. TheEye loves it.
