Michael Howard deepened his feud with the White House...

Methinks this 'feud' is pretty one-sided, sort of like if I were to go around claiming I had a feud going on with Bill Maher. Think some folks are trying to get a little attention?

To be a true leader you have to risk being unpopular to do whats right Lady Thatcher understood this... Howard's no Lady Thatcher if he's pandering and could explain why in part the Tory's are out of power ... poll driven politician of any political stripe are perceived rightly as weak and unreliable

I do understand the Tory's should be are natural allies here so maybe some of our UK FReeper could explain whats there perspective on whats going on

Mad Ivan you out there?

[Richard Kimball]

Dang, and I always loved that guy!

[Old Sarge Ski]

Who the F*&K are you talking about? My name is Howard and I voted for Bush. You mean the Green Howards? I though they were amalgamated? Howard Stern? He's a POS. Howard Cosell? He's dead. Howard Taft? He's dead too. Do any of you sodding buggers ever read the news. Oh...bugger off...you sodding poofters.

I completely agree with you. Before the election, the Dem leaders were predicing a Kerry win, and a shift of power, in their favor, in Congress.

I think they may have gotten their hands on the "vote for crack" stash. They are way too out of touch from the majority of this country to regain anything they've lost without a severe and painful reorganization off that hard left bank.

This guy could be, "Howard the Duck" for all I know. :)

I sure as heck wouldn't want the job of restructuring them:-)

[Spirited]

Howard and the Guardian just need some media exposure boost.

I am proud of the WH for ignoring the simps.

There are fewer and fewer honorable individuals among them. Right now the only one I can respect is Lady Thatcher, bless her soul.

Dean! Dean! Dean! Dean!

;) hehehe

[politicket]

I may need glasses. I had to read it 3x to see this did not say "Antichrist."

LOL!! I honestly read it that first time as "Anarchist".

[international american]

Humor Bump!!

[jellybean]

Who's Howard?

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

I didn't catch it till I read your comment. I read the whole article thinking, "Whoa, this isn't good. Stupid move by Rove. Howard's been a good ally."

So who gives a rat's ass about this other Howard?

[mafree]

Australia's got the only Howard worth anything!

Yeah, he's almost as cool as Moe Howard, one of the Three Stooges. (Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk!)

[CWOJackson]

I do believe I saw him hanging upside down in an Asia market today. That would explain his apparent frustration.

[GeekDejure]

I single handedly won the cold war, I double handedly won the hot war, and I underhandedly won the Vietnam war !!! Which is to say, I am an absolutely positively supercalifragalistic, ultramegamagnificient war hero, and I've got all the ribbons and medals to prove it !!!

George W. Bush will NOT keep me from attaining me lifelong dream of being president of the United States. My concession is legally meaningless, and right now my aids are busy removing the manhole covers from every sewer that surrounds the White House. Very soon I will squat down over one of those cover-less manholes and perform my own patented brand of KERRyORISM !!!

I have stuffed myself with 20 pounds of baked beans (covered with Heinz Ketchup, of course), and when I squat down over one of those holes and boom away with multiple magnificently melodious farts it will blow the roof off the White House !!!

Yes, I'm the "SEWERSIDE BOOMER" !!!

My name is JOhnKERry and I approve this message !!!

Heh Heh Heh (dirty laugh)

[Murtyo]

leader of the Conservative Party in the UK. While Blair may be up to his role in the international scene, domestically he's a socialist, very attached to grabbing guns, outlawing foxhunting, state run health schemes, etc. Blair is a very elequent speaker but he's far to the left of W. and conservatives in the US.

[CWOJackson]

I'm under no illusions with Blair. I remember how close he and Clinton were. I think this underscores how much he is actually a friend to America though.

[Once-Ler]

In his interview Mr Howard hit back at Mr Rove, who is widely credited with masterminding President Bush's decisive victory.

Bull. This is Dubya saying don't mess with my friend pipsqueek!

[DoughtyOne]

Good heavens, get in line Howard. There are bigger fish to fry and you're out of luck in thinking we give a darn anyway.
