Blair's deputy says Bush is "crap"

Not sure if anyone over there has picked up on this, but the British Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, reckons Bush's handling of the Middle East Crisis is "crap", and said as much to a group of Labour MPs at a private meeting yesterday. One of the MPs decided it would be a fine idea to tell the press, so good for him.

Prescott has been an embarrassment to the government for quite a while now, with a string of mistakes and inappropriate activity over the past few years. He physically attacked someone during the 2001 election campaign after an egg was thrown at him, he's been implicated several times in dodgy financial situations, he's had affairs, committed speeding offences - you name it, he's done it. He was stripped of nearly all his duties a while ago, but no-one wants to get rid of him completely, perhaps because he could spark off a leadership contest that would see the end of Blair. So now he just staggers about making himself look even more stupid than we thought he was.

But he's the source of endless fun for the rest of us, so long may his intellectually-challenged, northern peasant style of "politics" keep us amused till someone finally gets rid of all of them in one go.
