Palin, Letterman and the Outrage of Moral Shysters
Me: Would you care to explain yourself?
Just to qualify the comment. Compared to killing hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children based on duff intelligence and lies, it was a very small error of judgement.
Now go back to your shapes, colours, sounds, lights .....
ContedeQuincy: Look at your past posts and you'll soon find out why. I really would not like to add "selective amnesia" to the list.

New Labour Lords Prayer
Lettuce spray ..
Our Tony, who are't inflatable
Hollow be thy name
Thy prison come
Though should be done
In Den Haag as in the Old Bailey
Give us back this day our old Labour party
And forgive you not your trespassing
As we will not forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us no more, not even in cheating on expenses
But deliver us from your Third Way
For thine is the Scrubs
The ego and the gory
Forever and ever
Sod orf!
Amen

On hearing complaints about the new poet laurate - Part 1
Misogynists and awkward geezers

Upside down and sniffing poo
Not much chance that we'll get through
Well, feck 'em all, eh Father Ted?
