Can you guess what the C. stands for?

Written by:Stephen Mitchelmore.

I hope Terry Jones gets to see this blog. And I hope he tells the “mild-mannered lawyer” who writes it, namely Brant C. Hadaway, what he thinks of his tainting of the famous Python line with pro-Bush BS.

I found the blog looking for Robert Fisk’s memories of meeting Saddam in the 80s, an article quoted by the blogger: “In those days, we called him an autocrat - The Associated Press used to call him ‘the Iraqi strongman’ - because he was a friend of America. But we knew all about him, the raping rooms, the tooth extractors, the knives and the concrete hanging chambers with their clanging doors, and the execution pits“.

For some reason, the blogger responds to this by writing: “Only a coward could relate all of the horrors that he obviously ‘knew’ about when he was glad-handing with Saddam, yet at the same time so shamelessly shirk his responsibilities as a member of Western liberal (in the more traditional sense of the word) civilization.”

Apparently, Fisk shirks his responsibilities by not supporting more terror and suffering in Iraq - which Hadaway calls “sacrifice” (presumably not involving any sacrifice of his own, just impoverished Iraqi families).

Crucifixion’s too good for twats like Brant C. Hadaway.

That’s alright. Terry Jones has certainly spoiled my fond memories of Monty Python with his moonbattery.

Be careful what you write on the Internet about people, though. You might come to regret it.

The C. stands for “Collin,” btw. I’m in the phone book. Why don’t you come over for a visit?

A case of a twat calling a penis pink, methinks.

Mr Hadaway trumps your clabbered twat with his masculine, Conservative penis any day, Ms ‘Splinters’ (if, indeed, that is your real name!).

You are not fit to carry his scrotum.
