Sky News : Sir Michael White versus Andrew Gilligan
A co-conspirator reports a ding-dong of press review late last night on Sky. They clashed over Rushdie's knighthood, with Gilligan apparently implying that Sir Michael could look forward to some reward in Blair's resignation honours list. How disrespectful of young Gilligan to the doyen of the lobby...

It was a brilliant news review, Gilligan really gets under White's skin who just becomes more and more obnoxious as the items roll past. I suspect Sir Michael (as Gilligan informed him the blogosphere has nammed him) actually does represent the sneering superiority of many Guardian writers and, by extension, readers.
Funny how a man named White can have such a brown tongue.
A weirdo power-worshipper like Sir Michael is happy to clean the frenums of those in office in return for a few crumbs from the top table.
The Campbell diaries refers to a time when AC told some Argie TV interviewer, bit of a Dom Joly type, that Sir Michael was the Chancellor to get away from him, and presumably Sir Michael played up to it. With friends like that, is it any wonder Campbell despised journalists?
There is also a corking bit in there where Robin Oakley complains about being sacked by the BBC, and AC asks him if he's like him to organise some people to praise him, and Oakley says, yes please. The irony!!!
Interestingly, when I watched the review of the papers this morning on Sky News Active it showed only the 10.45 preview which Gilligan did on his own. Is this more Sky self-censorship?
White is the worst kind of self-important tosser.

shame there are no diaries from the time AC tw*tted him one.
Campbell may have done some stinking things, but anyone who serves White a knuckle sandwich can't be all bad.
Look at that 'tache! Looks like a Classics master who has been asked to 'help the police with their enquiries'...
C'mon your still not upset 'cos White pissed all you Guido are you?

(a) you don't make sense.
(b) get over it - you can't go on for ever feeding on that tiny distant crumb of comfort.
Lord Wichael Mite of Grauniad has a certain ring to it!
Sir Michael Whiter than white looks like the kind of person that would have done rather well in Nazi Germany.
Remember that time White did a massive poop all over Guido's head?

Have you noticed the worst thing about the Guardian columnists is their photographs? Grim, purposeful and patronising, determined to set the world to rights, and utterly humourless. With one or two exceptions they all convey the same message: "I am an overpaid, self-important little twerp."

Blair's resignation honours list will be edited to dust and destruction.
Any name on it will be a backhander repaid.
I'm surprised he hasn't giving a dame-hood to the wife.
Gilligan's Sir Michael jibe was amusing but I'd be surprised if it was accurate, as MW's affection for Blair has never really been reciprocated. The ex-PM once said of the Grauniad "I prefer to read a Labour paper."
The list is slightly more likely, in my view, to contain the names Lord Kavanagh of Wapping, Sir Philip Webster, and Tom Baldwin CBE.
I wonder if we may see
Lord Campbell of Tosspotshire.
WW
P Linford, the correct title would be Lord Kavanagh of Whopping-Lie.
In order to curry favour in that immediate-gratification way of his, Blair will also create
Sir Frederick Flintoff
Lewis Hamilton OBE
Lord Gervais of Slough
Dame Natasha Kerplunk
The Rooney of the Reeks
Ray Mears-of-that-Elk
etc
Wen you argue with a twat two twats are arguing and Gilligan has always been a twat.
But he was right about the dossier.
Didn't White spit-roast you on News Night with Paxo providing the stuffing...?
Tch, tch, Judith! Are you suggesting that Hutton was a whitewash?
MW is a twat of the highest twatty order. He can cram it with walnuts and just piss the fuck off. Stupid cunt face.
Guido didn't do well against Sir Michael but Sir M came over as an arrogant twat in that too!
Why do we watch any of them? People who review the papers are all arrogant, opinionated, self-centred, tossers. Iain Dale does it often. I rest my case.
According to Campbell Blairs favourite morning paper is the Daily mail , he reads it in his undies.
Little Lord Shite N white
Just as well it's a tabloid, Hitch. Imagine trying to fit the FT into your Y Fronts.
Blairs favourite morning paper is the Daily mail
and is anyone really surprised?
Gilligan IS a tw*t. He'll forever be associated with that dossier, which he didn't really get right anyway.
How dull. 'Peanut head' vs 'fat bast*rd'. Wouldn't even make Wrestlemania.

No of course Mitch, he was completely wrong, the dossier was completely factual, there's nothing to see here, Saddam could have launched at us in 45 minutes. (Launched what, a fucking pastie?)
Better get back on the medication mate!

Good laugh on sky,
Tariq Ali said he couldn't see why Rushdie and his jihadist detractors were all taking the honours system so seriously.
Wish the jeep-drivers would shut up about Rushdie, he might write another fucking book!
Anything that gets up a white & brown nose has my blessing.

Look at that 'tache! Looks like a Classics master who has been asked to 'help the police with their enquiries'...
Or one of those murderers off Columbo who spends the whole episode vainly trying to extricate themselves from the fatal web which their own greed has woven about them.
Kelly went for his walk in the woods at the same time as Gilligan was going before the Foreign Affairs Committee the second time.
Kelly, not trusting Gilligan as far as he could throw him, would have assumed that Gilligan was about to grass him up to the Committee. (Remember that the Committee had previously delivered itself of the aunthoritative opinion that Kelly could not have been the source.)
Kelly must have known that had Gilligan spilled the beans, he would have been in front of the Committee again in double-quick time.

'nammed' is clearly a verb dear boy, and so cannot be 'a' anything - since it is not a noun.

Mitch Gilligan may not have got his facts about the dossier 'exactly right' but he was a whole lot righterer than Campbell or Bliar.

Unlikely, we don't have too many Afro-Caribbean or Cornish takeaway joints in Bagdhad. Although I do believe Saddam was seriously considering unleashing the following lethal recipe (which I often use myself):
Iraqi Cardamom Cookies (Hadgi Badah)
2 cup All-purpose flour
1 tsp Ground cardamom
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp baking powder
1 1/3 cup Sugar
4 large eggs
2 cup ground blanched almonds,
around 10 oz. rose water (optional)
6 dozens whole almonds (approximately)
Method:
· Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease several large baking sheets.
· Sift together the flour, cardamom, salt, and baking powder. Beat the sugar and eggs until light and creamy. Stir in the flour mixture, then the ground almonds.
· Form the dough into 1-inch balls, moistening your hands with rose water, if desired. Place on the prepared baking sheets and flatten slightly. Press a whole almond into the center of each cookie.
· Bake until lightly browned about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
· Makes about 72 cookies.

I will not exalt this act of petty provocation with a reponse - the shame you have brought upon yourself in front of the highly educated-political inteligentsia of Westminster will surely constitute sufficient punishment.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear Paul. Still a bit bitter that Mr. White made you look like a total twat on newsnight, are we?
By the way, how long before you remove this entry from the string? Youyr reputation for editing the site to cut out any hint of criticism proceeds you. Like giving it out but can't take it, so wags say.

There is nothing lower on this planet, not even the serpents of the earth, than a cunting NuLab astroturfer too shit scared to publish other than as an anonymous. Well that's just what they fucking are so anonymous as to be small, almost indistinguishable pieces of slightly smell shit stuck to the bottom of my shoe. These NuLab turds only know one way, attack, attack, attack (is that 3 ways??. It is fascinating that the Right/Libertarian Blogosphere is flooded with these cunting lightweight no hopers but that the Stalinistas who frequent their favourite blogs do not generally receive the same back. Could it be that these intellectual pygmies KNOW we've won the argument and have to resort to playground bully tactics because they have no other weapons? I think so!! The people who are ordered onto these sites by NuLab to astroturf must feel no personal shame whatsoever. I almost feel sorry for the sad twats.
Like giving it out but can't take it, so wags say.
tho' some might be amused that someone resolutely cowering behind anonymity would say that.
Now that, Gareth, was top swearing.

Proof, if you ever needed it, why blogging and cheap alcohol do not mix.
I didn't get... 5.21:
Your argument presupposes that nammed is a verb, whereas it might well not be, thus totally undermining your case. The spelling is irrelevant. Simple example for your clever little brain: To brown something - ie to cook it. Brown - adjective pure and simple. Now do you see??
[word verif: ycucps!!]
language teacher 3:03am
I do, indeed, see language teacher...
so...let me see now...your comment could likewise be described by an adjective derived from a noun with the identical spelling - for example,
'bollocks' (as in: a load of... nouns) and 'bollocks' (as in: it is...adjectives)...
however, in English, a simple 'ed' ending would normally indicate the past participle of a verb - such as 'bolloxed' (as in: your argument is...past participled)
and in response to your comment I might well utter an exclamatory 'bollocks!'

There are quite a few pro-White entries here today. Perhaps they are being written by White himself, who must be terribly annoyed with himself for showing what a nasty, bullying little piece of ear fluff he is. Not the suave, sophisticated self styled leader of the 'liberal intelligentsia' he would like the world to believe he is.
He actually just showed the so called 'liberal intelligentsia' up for what they are, nasty little people who care only about power. Not truth and beauty and kindness. Not just power and arrogance and spitefulness.
So, White you may have made Guido look a little uncomfortable, but your vileness was all on show for all to see.
Cheers White, you did us all a favour.
