Need link to UK Guardian column (or mirror site)
I haven't had a chance to read Charlie Brooker's column on Bush in The Guide section of the UK Guardian Unlimited that caused a stir with the final line asking famous (alleged) political assassins "where are you when we need you?"

The link everyone has posted,

http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguide/tvradio/story/0,14676,1335307,00.html

now leads to this message:

Screen Burn, The Guide

Sunday October 24, 2004
The Guardian

The final sentence of a column in The Guide on Saturday caused offence to some readers. The Guardian associates itself with the following statement from the writer.

"Charlie Brooker apologises for any offence caused by his comments relating to President Bush in his TV column, Screen Burn. The views expressed in this column are not those of the Guardian. Although flippant and tasteless, his closing comments were intended as an ironic joke, not as a call to action - an intention he believed regular readers of his humorous column would understand. He deplores violence of any kind."

---------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have a good link to the actual column? Or could someone PM me the entire column?

Thanks!
