#2 like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country

Beautiful. That pretty much describes the moronic leftists on both sides of the pond.

#4 WOW! An al-Guardian guy who took the red pill instead of the blue!

#5 All well and good until you read the rest of the letters. There are, I believe, 60 in all from writers, artists, semi-political types, etc. and they run the gamut of Forsyth's to Harold (How Red can I Get?)Pinter's suggestion that when Bush has a drink it be the blood he has spilled.

#6 Some of letters are surreal, eg.:

Dear Jorge,

Look out! Behind you!!

Hahahahahahahaha, only kidding.

Love,
DBC Pierre
Novelist

Hmmm, pithy, yet eloquent, I simply must read his novels...

#8 ...and while you're at it, slap around Harold Pinter. Use the brass knuckles, if possible.

#9 I believe "Forsyth" is Old English for "man with class."

#10 How about thanking him by buying his new book? Just out Avenger ... I think a spike in American sales would please him....

Oh -- and it's quiet good.

#11 Thanks for the suggestion, Sherry. Haven't read Forsyth in quite a while - looks like that will have to be my holiday book.
