Armando Iannucci: Multiple choice test on Iraq

[muriel_volestrangler]

· Those MPs in the Labour party who, in the build-up to war, grumbled a bit about the importance of the UN but went on to vote for war on the basis of Tony Blair's evidence to the House of Commons are:

a) Mental plankton so incapable of doing anything of their own free will they probably have to eat 14 pounds of Viagra before they can even kiss their mum goodbye in the morning.

b) Gullible zeroes with less mental originality in their heads than the contents of a worm's thought-bubble.

· Newspaper columnists who, to this day, still bang on about what an amazing difference democracy has made to the lives of normal Iraqis are:

a) Incapable of processing any events in front of their faces. In fact, they're so detached from reality that they can't form any coherent assessment of anything involving people, places, sensory experiences, communicated signals or experiential phenomena of any kind. They're the journalistic equivalent of Helen Keller completely off her face on cider.

b) Reanimated zombies, being the souls of journalists from the time of the Boer War but inserted into the lifeless body of the likes of Melanie Phillips. She may look like Melanie Phillips, she may write like Melanie Phillips but, in fact, she's the ranting thought-pus of a brain-dead Victorian.

There's nothing like a good rant ... :evilgrin:
