….for Pik Botha!”

It’s more than that. Given that he relies on exclusives like a fish relies on air – Guido is actually much more susceptible to someone’s agenda. Of course, he may judge that agenda to suit his own, but he can easily be manipulated by someone.

In the case of Prescott, who knows if the someone who decided to leak the information wanted to back-stab him for political purposes? A rival… or even a friend. Who knows. Who cares… right?

Let’s keep it all in perspective, people.

Guido is a tart. But that doesn’t mean he’s an idiot.

Technically you’re right Paul, but he was lying trying to cover up getting blowjobs from somebody other than his wife – I don’t imagine he was the first – not about some major issue of state for which he should have been rightly lambasted.

There are two things Chris Paul does. One is defending the indefensible such as when he defended electoral fraud (if it keeps out the Tories). The other is to make himself (and by association all Labour loyalists) look ridiculous and hence I support all publicity for his site.

The question is whether he’ll be doing the same to the “unrepentant, arrogant shits” in the Tories if they do get into power. Of course, when he was quite right to bring up the question of Lord Ashcroft’s tax status you and others jumped on him for doing so. Little wonder then if he decides not to bother.

I’ve no idea where you’ve been Dominic, but I’m not going to debate a matter of fact with you. You believe whatever you like. Goodbye.

I have to admit this bit did make me laugh out loud, as JMcK’s writing frequently does, but the answer is pretty obvious: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” Or is lying to the American public no longer to be considered a “major crime?”

He didn’t, but we’ve been around that circle before?

You mean like the time he suggested Mark Oaten was a paedophile? Stuff like that?

The author wants things both ways.

1. Guido is popular, but has no impact… (this article is about someone not making an impact haha)
2. Guido is an insider not that he ever breaks any stories…
3. You even appear to attack the fact that the blog is free!
4. Guido is being used, but channels his stories through the MSM. Square that circle.

I think that you misunderstand his agenda. Sure he wants to run a successful media outlet, but I think he is far more interested in pulling politicians and especially Lefties down a few pegs. If he has a BIG story, he’ll break it on his blog, but make sure it goes mainstream too. The upshot is that unrepentant, arrogant shits like Hain remain in the public eye for weeks as there’s always a new thread to follow – and that’s a good thing. All hail, Guido.

Listen to the interview again and you can see he changed tack when he realised he was making an admission that would dismay his fans and euphemistically said he “coordinated” stories.

He was torn by wanting to boast that he gets the scoops but not wanting to admit that he gives it to the readers of the “Dead Tree Press” before his own readers.

On the whole, though, I think Justin is being, as they say, a bit harsh.

Where did I say it isn’t?

And that’s right, I question a blogger’s methods and impact and I’m arguing against democracy. Well done.

Not sure what your motivation is for this article? When the Tories get in, you could write a similar argument. It would be an argument against democracy.

And you ought to be thankful we’ve got a former Young Conservative Margaux-slurping hedge fund manager to take on the elites of this country, you ungrateful shmuck.
