The Odd Fellow
His name is Herbert Charles Angelo Kuchacevich ze Schluderpacheru, but he is now known as Herbert Lom. He's an actor. From Britian. (Pink Panther fans will remember him as Inspector Dreyfus.) Mr. Lom had this to say to the Independent:
"I have spent my life learning other people's lines," he says. "Now I want to say some of my own." He then reads the following from his own scrawled notes. "We are constantly told that our prime minister is a charlatan, a liar, a cheat, a poodle. Not once but 15 times a day. I have lived in Czechoslovakia, France and England and I have never known anything like it." He looks up from his note pad. "You know," he adds, "I am as scared of Clare Short as I am of Saddam Hussein. She can bring this Government down, I think. As a woman I find her very attractive, but she is a pain in the arse. Tony Blair is a brilliant and brave prime minister. It must distress him that chopping off heads, which has become fashionable among those villains in the desert, is not considered as wicked as failing to find the so-called weapons of mass destruction."
Indeed. And how Mr. Lom speaks of Clare Short is just how I felt about John Kerry, well, except for the attractive part.
I found this over at Roger L. Simon's blog, along with some very interesting comments by someone named Kevin. Worth a click if you have the time.
