A BBC News article caught my eye:
Victoria and David Beckham’s wax doubles have been given starring roles in a celebrity nativity scene at Madame Tussauds in London.
The pair play Mary and Joseph, while Tony Blair, George Bush and the Duke of Edinburgh make up the three wise men.
Actors Hugh Grant, Samuel L Jackson and comedian Graham Norton play shepherds and singer Kylie Minogue is the angel.
Sorry… but Tony Blair, George W Bush and the Duke of Edinburgh as the three wise men? Now, let’s see – some of their bons mots:
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
Hmm, I wonder which imbecile with the world’s largest nuclear stockpile said that.
“What you can say is that we received that intelligence about Saddam’s programmes and about his weapons, that we acted on that.”
Yeah, great move, that one, Mr Blair.
While visiting the formerly British-occupied territory of Scotland, Prince Phillip asked a driving instructor:
“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?”
(Hang on, I just read that having copied it from the BBC. Formerly British-occupied territory? Scotland? Huh?)
