51st State

I found this commentary piece in the online Guardian and I thought it was quite funny

See what you think - Boris for prez, anyone? He certainly is a BRILLIANT guest host on 'Have I Got News for You' (episode from 2005 playing on the uk.youtube channel). Neither am I a Republican nor a Tory - in fact, I lean far left of even Democrat or Labour, but there's something a bit charming about Boris...makes you want to take him out for lunch.

Why not!

BORIS FOR PRESIDENT!

He can't be any worse than what we've currently got.

Absolutely! I love the political debate in the UK. I read over the comments that followed this article and one of them epitomised the view I was trying to put forth...

"I'm sorry, but you can't take him. I wouldn't put a dead dog through the primaries and I quite like Boris. Certainly a man to have a pint with. God forbid I would ever vote for him though." - Dixogenes on Guardian Unlimited

I can't recommend enough the 2005 episode of 'Have I Got News For You', that Boris Johnson hosted, uploaded on uk.youtube.com. It's broken up into three segments -- brilliant, brilliant television!

I'll toodle over to YouTube and check it out.

Boris Johnson = Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert.

Hilarious and spot on! Thanks for pointing him to me.

Now I'm off to CafePress to have bumper stickers made: Boris in '08.
