WHO CRIED FIRST, CAMPBELL OR BROWN?

Brown recorded an interview and became emotional about his late daughter on Saturday.  Campbell "cried" on Sunday on the Andrew Marr show when interviewed about Tony Blair.  OK... 

Alastair Campbell is a master of twisty-turny spin.  He cannot be trusted full stop.  This is a man who suggested how to reword intelligence dossiers in order for the UK to follow America into a war with Iraq.  This is a man who published his diaries from that period  - and then admitted that he had rewritten some of the entries.   A compulsive rewriter methinks...

A quick google of Alastair Campbell reveals that he was born in Yorkshire and raised in Keighley for the first eleven years of his life.  Is he seriously expecting the viewing public to believe that a Northerner nearly cried on telly over the treatment he and his Southern softie mate continue to receive for conning the country into an illegal war?  This is a man who slithered into the Channel 4 news studio unannounced to pronounce his piece against BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan at the height of the Iraq dossiers scandal.

  A Yorkshireman would rather chew his own arm off than let anyone see him cry...My own feelings are that Campbell would spin his own grandmother  before he took the rap for anything.  He's a fighter, not a lover.

I cannot believe that serious political issues have been reduced to a crying competition  - BETWEEN TWO MEN.  Haven't we come a long way in the 21st century?  Talk about equality of the sexes...
