I've been thinking, I know I shouldn't.
But...........
Do you think every time Labour or the Conservatives change their leader here, it's the lead item on all the TV News Channels in the US ?

There is talk that Obama will make Hillary his Vice President. I hope he's not that stupid. If she's the VP it means that if he dies she will become President. You only have to look at the long list of people associated with the Clintons who have met unexpected deaths when they had outlived their usefulness to see what will happen. Anyone here remember Vince Foster?

I remember when Dan Quayle was vice president under George Bush.
He was so awful, that a joke went round that if ever George Bush was assassinated, the secret service were under instructions to shoot Dan Quayle.

Dan Quayle served his purpose: getting the American public used to having a moron in the White House so that they'd be ready when George senior's lad became president.
And the point about our news media's slavish devotion to US politics is well made. We don't spend a quarter of the time on French presidential elections, and that country is about 20 miles from the British mainland.
For an account of the Clintons, read Primary Colours by Joe Klein---or watch the movie, with John Travolta playing a shallow, womanising hopeful while his wife, Emma Thompson, does all she can to keep the campaign on the rails and the scandal from the press.

AMERICA WAITS FOR CLINTON TO FUCK OFF!
AMERICA was waiting with bated breath last night as Hillary Clinton signalled she may be about to fuck off.
Sources close to the New York senator suggested she is now ready to pick a date to concede the election, and has already pencilled-in April 23rd, 2017.
But senior Democrats are urging the the former first lady to just fuck off the minute she wakes up....
