David Cameron: Marlboro-smoking, populist roughneck. I can't see it. Brown at least has the rough voice and the large build. Cameron looks like just another pretty little rich boy from some generic high-end English prep school...which, if I remember correctly, is exactly what he is.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Re: Populism (none / 0)

I didn't find him terribly charismatic, personally. I thought he was a doofus, and, while he may have improved since I last watched, he really got torn to pieces by Blair and Brown at PMQs.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Re: Populism (none / 0)

Oh, compared with many people, he isn't charismatic, but compared to DQ...he's JFK.

Re: Populism (none / 0)

Well, okay, compared with Dan Quayle, just about anybody is Kennedy. It's like winning the Special Olympics without being disabled.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

What does smoking Marlboro's have to do with fighting fat cats?
