Calamity Clegg Strikes!

Calamity Clegg is living up to his nickname - 24 hours in the job and he has already committed (count 'em) 2 gaffes.

And what were his gaffes? Misjudging his figures on a key economic policy such as taxation? Has he committed a major foreign policy faux pas, such as proposing an invasion of Pakistan? Perhaps he uttered a racial slur or made a sexist comment.

Oh no, he just didn't know about the Pogues's Fairytale of New York. And he thought Changes was the name of a Bowie album, when *everyone* knows that the full album title is changesbowie.

What a cunt he is.

Of course, we could take the sensible option and say that, whilst not knowing the name of a David Bowie compilation and about the Fairytale of NewYork represents bad taste, it is hardly knowledge required of someone who is running a political party. It is not really a gaffe at all. And we already know that Clegg has bad taste. After all, he did join the Liberal Democrats.

But why be sensible when we can be hysterical? This lack of knowledge is catastrophic. How will Clegg compete with Cameron if he can't name hip albums? He's going to lead the Liberal Democrats into further poor poll ratings, he's going to drive the party into the ground. The Liberal Democrats must waste no time, and sack Clegg because of these gaffes. After all, they have a lot of recent experience in running leadership elections. And I've heard Chris Huhne might be interested in the job.
