Big Tony leaving in June...

So not explaining it then.

Fair enough.

Oh, well.

How about "He has no claim to be", would that suit you at all (at all).

Sounds like Paris Hilton won't have to serve her full 45 days.

I can't see any reason why we shouldn't get early release too.

How can one have a claim to be pretentious.

You've gone and mixed your verb (claim) with my noun ("claim") again.

No, I think you'll find you misused the word "pretentious".

Everything after that is just your wriggling (verb).

It's quite simple-

Pretense is affect, is it not?

Sometimes this affect is practiced by a person of accomplishment and substance...sometimes it is not.

Bush is certainly not of the intellectual elite, nor can he boast of a life of singular achievement; at least he doesn't pretend, as does, say, John Kerry, who is a completely empty suit.

How about your Mr. Brown?

Apparently a criticism of Mr Brown doing the rounds in Westminster is "the trouble with Gordon is that he is all substance" a reference to Blair being style over substance.

Gordon is a rather dour son of the manse given to presbyterian brooding and is considered a bit of an intellectual heavyweight. Can't see why he and George will not get on :) To be fair George might be quite comfortable with Gordon's sterner Protestant outlook - but it will be a different relationship.

Recent television appearances have seen Gordon being bright and cheerful. I thought this might be rather pained but he seems to be doing it quite well, so he may yet be in with a chance of winning in 2009.

So Bush really is just a good ole boy, raised on a Texas dirt farm, educated in a one room school, a war hero who represents middle class American values?

That damn liberal media...
