Quote Unquote

This gem is from Jim Hacker, the Right Honorable MP, from the laugh-a-thon "Yes Minister".

You know what the average Common Market official is like ? They've got the flexibility of the Germans, the organising ability of the Italians and the modesty of the French. And that's topped up by the humour of the Belgians, the generosity of the Dutch and the intelligence of the Irish.

Humorous, scathing, and skilfully enough, makes it seem like a compliment!

Would someone tell the Democrats to hire the script writers of this fantabulous BBC politi-comedy? The Republicans are catching them with pants-down at every opportunity with their brilliant fluency in obfuscating facts and concepts in terrifying cavalcade of words, morality and self-righteous out-rage. So fluent in fact that its not even funny any more.

Maybe its time for the donkeys to man-up, and atleast pretend to show that they've got a spine.
