That chap who started with the fresh, young face and open grin and now has the bulging eyes of the mentally disturbed and the grimace of someone who knows the game is up. The problem is, he so desperately wants to be loved that the more he sees he is hated, the more he will dig his heels in and stay. New Labour had their time in the sun like the Tories under Mrs Thatcher. People eventually saw both of them to be corrupt, so now it's back to the wilderness. If a week is a long time in politics, why do they learn nothing in ten years? 512492@blogcritics.org Tue, 16 Jan 2007 13:17:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/01/14/124811.php#comment-511593 Thank you Liam I had heard it suggested that he may be leaving in May. Off course some are eager for him to vacate much sooner. Tell me, what happened with him? He started out so strong then all of a sudden he turned into Bush's lap dog. What is fascinating is that he is incredibly intelligent and shrewd. A friend of mine was just certain that Rove had filmed him in a bizarre naughty situation and THAT was the reason for his being on board so vehemently. 511593@blogcritics.org Sun, 14 Jan 2007 22:13:25 EST
