250-1 calls Hillary Clinton a "honky bitch" on live television.
3-1 shares breakfast with David Cameron, both in their dressing gowns in 2010.
1-1 is better than any neoconservative
What are the odds that he will close down Guantanamo Bay within a year and admit it was a disastrous and tragic violation of human rights which the US should be deeply ashamed of?
What are the odds that he will publicly state before 2010 that god (with a capital G) is on his side?
I wouldn't bet on him calling Hilary Clinton a honky bitch on live Tv - but I would pay good money to see it!
tsk, cynic :p
Where's the hope and the romance eh?
....

Fine, I'll go back to deluding myself on my own. tum te tum :)
I beg to differ.
He is the genuine article...
where is your suspension of disbelief?
Odds of him being worse than the previous asshat cowboy..
infrickingcalculable.
He's a politician, which by virtue of that title means he's going to disappoint and lie.
I think Comedy Central got it right here.

Vicus - I'll have a tenner on that
Geoff - Ugh, sort of silky paisley ones I bet!!!!
Isarna - You are quite right there. I am hoping!!!
Shell - I completely agree with your sentiments here. I heard some Americans getting all uptight because people around the world 'didn't respect' their country - what do they expect!!!!
Fathorse - Now I feel guilty for not being 'full of hope'. It's just age Fat, it's got to me!
Donn - I really hope, but I guess we Brits will never recover from Bliar rubbing our noses in it so soon after making us think he was the 'special' one.
Pamela - I'd love to think it could be different - but I look back in history and that doesn't exactly fill me with hope.
At least he's nice to look ........ definitely better eye candy than his predecessor!
I need to say that I was not, even for one minute, made to think that Blair was special. Labour died finally when they kicked Michael Foot out for wearing the wrong coat.
