Eric Idle's Greedy Bastard Tour: I'm going Christmas shopping today. I can't think what to buy Nicole Kidman. Or for that matter Halle Berry. And what do I get Cameron Diaz? Panties again? I always get Hugh Grant panties, he's easy to please, and I'm getting Russell Crowe a tool kit with his name on it. Mel Gibson, well a copy of The Life of Brian, natch. Can you believe he's made the same story and missed all the jokes?

From Eric Idle's blog... Laugh. It's funny.

Tri-Valley Herald Online - Local & Regional News:

"WASHINGTON -- As President Bush begins a week of foreign diplomacy, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice insists that he will one day rank alongside such towering pillars of 20th century statecraft as President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
'Statesmanship has to be judged first and foremost by whether you recognize historic opportunities and seize them,' Rice said in an interview with Cox Newspapers.
'When you think of statesmen, you think of people who seized historic opportunities to change the world for the better, people like Roosevelt, people like Churchill, and people like Truman, who understood the challenges of communism. And this president has been an agent of change for the better -- historic change for the better.'


Her assessment, as Bush leaves Thursday for Europe, stands in stark contrast to the election-year critiques of the president's political opponents and many policy analysts. They charge that he has pursued a go-it-alone approach to diplomacy that has strained U.S. alliances and divided world opinion rather than uniting it. "

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! This miserable failure ranks with some of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century? Give me a break. I'd put him more in the James Buchanan territory. Idly watching (and sometimes helping to facilitate) the country tearing itself apart.
