Command of English? Yeah, "thrown out to sea in a chaff bag" was positively Shakespearean. As was "nigger in the woodpile". Such eloquence, the likes of which way never hear again.
I've always thought Adam a dill, but his validation of my judgment lately is so thorough it's still surprising me.
Update: I know that there is also the odd "Leftist" journo who is making comment about what a "brilliant" broadcaster he is, in terms of effectiveness with his audience, even if you don't agree with his views. But this is a very stupidly narrow way of judging a broadcaster career performance. Even without criticising the political content (the anti carbon tax support, for example) what about the (I think) 11 defamation cases he faced? Isn't a "brilliant" broadcaster one who is careful enough to avoid such a large number of financial losses for his employer?

ReplyDeleteperhaps he was brilliant because he was still employed despite his arrest in the UK, despite his cash for comment, despite his litany of libel cases
