the corner office

I love British politics. I remember how thoroughly desultory and ultimately pointless televised parliament was in ZA. Here, it's absolutely bloody brilliant. It's all theatre, they're all crooked politicians spouting BS and looking for sound bites, but it's just beautiful to see them get so pissy with each other.

Young Davey's riding high now, taking cheap shots at Brown, who looks like he's about to burst into tears at any minute (I would if I were him, too), and yet you know that in 10 years' time when everyone's had enough of the Tories and the pendulum's starting to swing again, it'll be some young Labour whippersnapper putting on the theatrics and hamming it up for the cameras.

Awesome.
