Boris Johnson’s stunt today doesn’t fool journalists

“Great leadership now, but do you still think he’s “fumbling”? asks a journalist. “great leadership” responds Schwarzenegger, cautiously.

When I first noticed the headline, I thought it was rhyming slang. Boris is a fumbling stunt.

Seeing that exciting headline “fumbling stunt” lead me to think this blog was going to be even more stuff about promoting Family Values, such as this:

“After [Petronella Wyatt] had lived in the United States for the latter half of 2003 with Charles Bruce Berry at his home in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2004 British newspapers reported that she had had a four-year affair with the then-Conservative MP Boris Johnson. The affair, which had been well hinted at in UK newspaper gossip columns, included passionate London taxi cab rides around St John’s Wood during which they would ask the cab driver to insert cassette tapes of Wyatt singing Puccini. Although Johnson had promised to leave his wife, after a break-up, they had rekindled their relationship during which Wyatt had become pregnant and then had an abortion; resulting in her mother discovering the affair and reporting it to the press. Johnson was sacked from his shadow cabinet post by Michael Howard, not because of the affair but because he had lied about it.”

Blimey Bob, you really are obsessed. Mind like a Welsh railway.

Johnson retaliated to Ahnholdt’s original remark by calling him a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg but that’s all forgotten now as CallMeDave (every time I read or write that I think of the early Judge Dredd story about deranged robot Call-Me-Kenneth) likes the wrinkled non-actor who’s destroyed California more effectively than Skynet ever could.

The words fumbling combined with Boris and Schwarzenegger conjures up an image to horrific to describe.

Fumbling stunt?

Well, that’s not quite what I called Boris Johnson the other night, but that’s good enough for me.

@3: “Blimey Bob, you really are obsessed. Mind like a Welsh railway.”

Wonderful stuff on the internet. Just putting google to good use to see what’s in the forgotten archives and in buried news. All that exciting stuff about Libyan defectors and envoys crowds out news about NHS reforms from the regular BBC newscasts. Evidently, the new Government Communications chief is having an influence but then he used to be head of BBC news.

Boris Johnson got very “handsy” with me a a gallery opening night last year. I hate to admit but he is very sexy in person but I just couldn’t, not with a tory!
