Bush grants interview to the Sun

[Ned]

The Sun is hilarious. Check out the story where Britney says that Timberlake was "Just-in."

[Chemical Ollie]

Giving an exclusive interview to "The Sun" is comparable to being a guest on Jerry Springer Show.

Sounds a fair headline. When did it become immoral to celebrate a British triumph?

[Ned]

Park, only when it was not expected. One does not celebrate stealing candy from babies.

[Solly]

Destroying a military asset of a nation that declared war on us is a fantastic thing. So are headlines celebrating it.

If they are going to criticise our actions, they can leave our country. There's no place for LibDem Argie-lovers here.

[Dis]

this is beyond coinicidence.

This strikes of political corruption.

There is obviously some relationship between Murdoch and Bush. It may be Fox news who got Bush elected

[Whaleboy]

Whatever happened to good old-fashioned laziness?

I'm back!

PA: Oh please. The trouble with the rhetorical nonsense you, the Sun, and the flag ****ers seem to regard the "us and them" mentality of patriotism and wars caused thus, as being more valuable than human life. War is a tragic waste, nothing more. People that celebrate the death of humans, are rather sickening to me. Nothing beats simple minded idiocy to stimulate a sense of superiority.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

The "Belgrano" incident is pretty much irrelevant.

The "Sun" is the paper that covered the Hillsborough disaster which claimed 96 lives by blaming the victims. Personally speaking I'd like to burn down its presses and feed Rupert Murdoch through its paper-winders until his intestines squirt out of his ears like toothpaste.

The Falklands War was stupid and unnecessary just because it gave the British an excuse to hang onto the Falklands (whereas they could have been gained through negotiation under a much weaker British government later on, for example...now, they'll hang onto them for God knows how long).

Given that there are only about 5 people on the islands that want to join Argentina I would be superlatively surprised if any UK government handed over control to Argentina.

Murduch quotes:

on the Iraq War:
"The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy, if you could put it that way, would be $20 a barrel for oil. That's bigger than any tax cut in the any country."

On George Bush
"He will either go down in history as a very great president or he'll crash and burn. I'm optimistic it will be the former by a ratio of two to one,"

On Gordon Brown (Finance minister in Blair's gov.)
"He is a very deep Calvinist who believes in the duty of people to work and I approve of that very strongly."

Mr Murdoch has said he wants to push a "vote no" message in the Sun, the News of the World, the Times and the Sunday Times. Spot the irony in the next quote.

Murdoch on the Euro
"The central issue is one of sovereignty"

On Gordon Brown (Finance minister in Blair's gov.)
"He is a very deep Calvinist who believes in the duty of people to work and I approve of that very strongly."

Is there something wrong with this quote? At all?

I don't spot the irony at all. It seems to be pretty consistant.

Goddam Laz, you're the funniest ****er on the Internet. If you ever get the opportunity to carry out your fantasy, gimme a ring; I'd love to assist.

Are you being serious?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yes, 100% serious. I don't get it (the irony that is). What is wrong with liking what Calvinists believe?
