Oh dear ...




A quick couple of items for now ...

Following Sir Gideon aka George Osborne's U Turn on fuel duty some hapless - and previously obscure - junior minister by the name of Chloe Smith (me neither) was ceremoniously hung out to dry for the Paxman treatment on Newsnight last night. Oh dear ... Watch from 6.19 onwards.

Continuing the political theme, the rabbit rather liked German Chancellor Angela Merkel as Terminator. See below ...



Oh okay then, as a parting shot, a bit of sixties stuff - a well known rabbit partiality - if you insist. A Frankie Valli/Four Seasons double header...



Rag Doll, plus the B side - Silence is Golden. How's that for two sided quality in a little piece of black vinyl?

Love Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. Great stuff.

I think she'd make a great terminator! ;-)

"...Don't mess with the Merkel"

putting a 12yr old on newsnight is such a good idea, isn't it...

JoJo - Indeed. I ballsed it up initially by putting 'Rag Doll' up twice instead of once plus 'silence is Golden'. Error now corrected!

Michael - Indeed part 2. I keep thinking Merkinator then remind myself that a merkin is a pubic wig.

SW - Indeed part 3. And her up past her bedtime too. But it must be said that the overwhelming residual impression is 'Paxman is a bully'.

'Paxman is a bully'.

err journalist...

aren't bullies those who pick on the weak and powerless. government ministers however shite and lacking the ability to put together an english sentence (really, my 9yr old would have done better - at least he would have gone 'nurrrrrrr' at some point and gained enormous public approval) aren't really in that category.

SW - Chloe Whatsit will get over it but Paxman is past his use by date in my opinion. He looks murderously bored and the wind obviously changed as per mother's warning as he seems locked facially into a permasneer.Plus he can dish it out but he can't take it and looks - and sounds - mightily peeved when any interviewee gives as good as he gets - recently Giles Fraser despite such incisive questions as 'why should anyone take any notice of you? You're a former member of the SWP?' - Effortlessly batted away by Fraser.

yep; all fair comment. certainly find other bullies ...errr interviewers... more fun and effective.
