Great video over at The Guardian with a voiceover by Steve Bell showing his cartoons of George W. Bush throughought his presidency.

From Guardian Weekend Letters 31 January: "Which living person do you most despise?" is an interesting question again with the demise of George Bush. Mike Skinner's answer (Q&A, 24 January) - "Boris, the idiot mayor of London" - was not a bad start.Richard Stainton London SE24 And the same organ, Letters today: George Bush doesn't get off the hook of being "the living person you most despise"

Vanessa Neumann, a self-confessed product of Venezuela's maligned "oligarchy", writes to The Guardian letters with some facts to prove Chavez is the dictatorial monster The Guardian seems determined to portray him as. In the comments section, though, it would appear Ms Neumann (and The Guardian) have been rumbled.... I live in the US and read The Guardian because I cannot stand the biased US ...

Guardian has a Miliband agenda Bob Marshall-Andrews, though an unreconstructed maverick, writes a very entertaining blog, which everyone should read just to cheer themselves up in the morning. Anyway here he is on the subject of writing for the Guardian: "Just had an article urging Brown to go for growth turned down by the Guardian All my articles are turned down by the Guardian but...

Some weeks ago the Guardian carried a report according to which Israel had considered a military strike against Iran's nuclear sites earlier this year and were told by George Bush that he would not support it. It is interesting in...

Hallelujah! It had to happen eventually: the Guardian is enraged! by a show of support for someone they call a 'convicted criminal'. Just to spell it out to the Guardian, Shields may indeed have been convicted, but a 'criminal'? Didn't the Guardian used to be in favour of actual trials? Still, let's check the scorecard here, guy captured by US troops on Afghan battlefield and sent to Gitmo: obviou...

I have no doubt that Guardian executives will justify their decision to on the grounds of liberty and free speech but it is disappointing nonetheless. Or am I over-reacting? Was their decision based upon principle or profit? I have always thought that the Guardian was keen on promoting good c...

It's not surprising that the photo library of John McCain with George Bush is getting vigorous usage by the Obama campaign (see latest ad below). George Bush now has a favourability rating of just 19%. That's the lowest ever for a US President since George Gallup started doing such polls in the 1930s. Bush was at that level before, but it was when the Iraq situation was far worse than it is now.

Headline to Guardian leader: Economy: Down, down, deeper and down So, err, where does that come from? Ahhhh, yes….. The Guardian, hip and with it as ever. Cultural references to Status Quo circa 1975. Well, that was when the UK was at its most equal ever, wasn’t it?
