That casts some light on the nature of his reaction to those revolting peasants - wounded vanity, beacuse they just won't shut up and listen to him. These two point-missing rants of GM's are comparable to Cockburn's in many illuminating ways.<BR/><BR/>But "Moronbiot"? I can't agree with you there, and I think that referring to him in that way only supplies him with further specimens of insulting invective to select and display on his website. It's precisely the fact that he is not a moron, and in many ways one of the good guys, that makes his terrible performance on this issue so deeply annoying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18174466.post-65490783485218887102007-02-20T20:07:00.000-08:002007-02-20T20:07:00.000-08:00And in one slickly executed fell-swoop, George Mor...And in one slickly executed fell-swoop, <A HREF="http://www.monbiot.com/" REL="nofollow">George Moronbiot</A> is hoisted by his own petard.<BR/><BR/>This is, of course, the same <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Monbiot" REL="nofollow">George Moronbiot</A> whose father, Raymond, is the deputy chairman of the Conservative Party and Chairman of the National Convention and whose mother, Rosalie, is a Conservative councillor who led South Oxford district council for a decade.
