I'm sorry, but the sight of Mark Stephens, the egregious Julian Assange's lawyer, irresistibly puts me in mind of Jonathan Miller's description of Paul Johnson as looking 'like an explosion in a pubic hair factory'. Probably the only funny thing (of his own) Miller ever said...
Apparently he was mocked by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show the other night. I didn't see it myself but looking at him on the steps of the court yesterday, I did wonder if he's now playing up to image of the eccentric Englishman.
ReplyDeleteIt's like hiring Max Clifford as your publicist, hiring this joker always makes me question a person's sanity.
Dear Santa,
ReplyDeletePlease may I have for Christmas..the entire Assange sideshow sent into outer space.
PS, if you could arrange for Pilger never to return it would be much appreciated.
I understand what people are saying here, but in a world full of gray bland bankers who have driven my country bankrupt and thrown people into the streets, it's kind of a relief to see a Dickensian character.
ReplyDeleteOf course Dickens also was canny enough to write about the gray bankers....
