Everyone Is Avoiding Broon But Some Of The Excuses Are Great

What happened to that 'Flinty Chicago Toughness'? Osama can't be bothered to meet with the One-Eyed Scottish Idiot and blames it on snow.

Apparently the six weeks of partying in the White House and destroying the economy have exhausted the Obamessiah. In January he scoffed at the lightweights in Washington who shut everything down because of a little snow.

Obama said he would have to instill "some flinty Chicago toughness" into Washingtonians.

"When it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things" he said.Well, how things quickly change.

No sooner had our Prime Mentalist's plane landed at Andrews Air Force Base on Monday evening when word was passed to travelling Westminster hacks that the press conference they'd been told to expect had been called off "because of snow".

There was going to be a press conference after the Snot Gobbler and Osama had met in the Oval Office and before they had a "working lunch" in the Old Family Dining Room.

By 8pm, the press conference - if there'd ever been one planned - was officially called off. The White House press schedule said: "There will be a pool spray of the meeting." That means a small group of tame reporters get two or three quick questions and a chance for everybody to dodge anything difficult.

The funniest thing is that The Times reports the snub but doesn't know that a group of Boy Scouts managed to turn up for their White House reception the same day and everything went ahead.

Much as TheEye detests Osama, it's obvious that he has enough political nous to avoid Jonah. Respect there, at least.

Hat-Tip also to a previously unknown blog with a few phrases and links stolen (here) from a site TheEye has only noticed this evening. Then shocked to randomly see that David Vance is a contributor to it. David, there are only 24 hours in a day. How do you manage?
