I must admit, I went to his blog to read a mea culpa as per my expectations. Interesting he hasn’t done so, but perhaps there is some legal ramifications* for doing so?

*Devil’s advocate point

Coincidentally, he has just now. Wonder what took him so long.

I do not take these issues lightly and have been horrified at some of the things which people with other agendas have written about me on certain left of centre blogs. Their gleeful reaction says more about them than it can ever do about me. But that’s politics. That’s blogging. If you can’t stand the heat etc etc.

What a crybaby.

You know what I am going to say…so I won’t bother you this time!

cjcjc, I’ll say it for you as I actually do think people are being a little harsh to Iain Dale here.

It seems that he was too eager to run a negative story, did it without sufficiently confirming the facts, realised his mistake and made a complete pigs-ear of backtracking. Easy thing for a partisan politico to do, shows incompetence and just the regular amount of malice for a partisan, not an overdose of malice by any means.

You know what I am going to say…so I won’t bother you this time!

c’mon cjcjc – I was actually waiting for it this time!

He’s done it now anyway.

So I will drink a toast to Tom – who helped crown a king but destroy a kingdom.

To the wreckage of Labour. Cheers!

What is the basis of the Dale obsession?

He looks cute in hotpants.

I think its because I’m a lefty blogger and therefore by definition I’m humourless and insanely jealous of Iain Dale’s large pe-… web stats.

Isn’t this Iain Dale supposed to be a demigod of the blogging-sphere-thinghy? Eveyone is supposed to aspire to be as good as him?

I THINK I have read what he wrote a coupla times, but I must admit Guido was far funnier.

Does anyone have a link to this Dale’s chaps blog? I may have another look at it.

All this goes to prove is that Dale and his crabby site are not the great work of genius he or his brown nose supporters would have you believe.

If this is another example of why, according to Dale, Right wing sites are superior to liberal sites it just goes to shows how much hot air he talks.

Dale posted his belated apology then posted a dozen wads of crap to bury it further down his blog. I have no idea why some on the left give him the time of a day.Nor do I understand why he hawks himself around the media as a ‘political commentator’…he’s a Tory hack, plain and simple…

I don’t have a big problem with Iain Dale per se.

I do, however, have a problem with him when he claims Lefties are humourless, and then goes on to make a serious of lame jokes on his blog. They’re eye rollingly bad. Oh, and don’t even get me started on that fuckwit Dizzy, who’s about as funny as a bag of still-warm, dead kittens.

I don’t think Dale should’ve apologised again. Saying sorry is hollow and pointless. Dale is a partisan hack, I don’t lose any sleep over him.

Anyway, who was it who said, and I paraphrase: that an insincere apology is double the insult?
