Walsingham Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10...tle-weaker.html With each attack Prime Minister Brown becomes a little weaker This headline made me immediately think of the PM as some bad guy in a computer game. Or in a film. The Mail always cracks me up. Not as badly as the Independent, because they really beleive what they say, but nearly. "It wasn't lies.

SteveThaiBinh Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Two lame duck prime ministers in as many years. We are doing well. Though they say you get the leaders you deserve. At least he'll be gone quicker than Blair was. Blair was like some massive endgame boss with 5,000,000 HPs that just wouldn't go down, even though everything was in ruins around him.

Volourn Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Huh? Britain did just fine with Blair as their PM. At least the party, and voters thought so. R00fles! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 I certainly wouldn't call Blair a lame duck. You can criticise what he did, but he bloody did stuff. "It wasn't lies.

Gorgon Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) It's funny how leaders become posthumously loved, like in the US president Reagan can walk on water and shoot lighting balls out of his eyes, a good 30 years after they had to contend with him as president that is. I suspect the same is happening with Blair. Both our prez and the leading opposition contender are slick mini Blairs. I bloody hate em.

Kind of like that "unbeatable" boss in the Final Fantasy MMO that took 18 hours for a group to do but failed, but another group did it in a minute.

SteveThaiBinh Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I certainly wouldn't call Blair a lame duck. You can criticise what he did, but he bloody did stuff. Blair did almost nothing after his first term (1997-2001). Then he sided with George W. and invaded Iraq, and whatever the merits of that, once it was discovered that there were no WMDs he had no 'political capital' to do anything except dodge accusations of lying. He only won the next election (with 36% of the vote!!) because the leader of the Conservatives was evil. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Volourn Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) "I suspect the same is happening with Blair." He was popular enough to keep getting the office. "No. Blair's still unpopular." If he was so unpopualr why was he in office for so long? Blair was not as universally hated as some claim not even after the Iraq War. Heck, his repalcement's failure thus far just shows that Blair was a good PM. *shrug* Edited September 15, 2008 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Walsingham Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 It's just fair to say that he benefited from an hilariously uncreditable opposition. Hell, even the LibDems made progress.
