That is an unfair statement. Whores have dignity.

OTOH, terrorist-lover Brown will always have Tripoli.

Brown couldn't wait to show Tony Blair the door, nor could most Labourites. Now they've done something Tony never did - lose a general election.

The government established after this election isn’t going to last long. Why not let him be the one walking the plank?
