GUARDIAN: BUSH ASSASSIN WANTED

I was pretty sure the Guardian, the British rag consummed with ABB (Anybody But Bush) rage, couldn't sink any lower than their unsuccessful effort to illegally influence battleground state voters. Obviously, I was wrong:

On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?

Charlie Brooker stepped way over the line with his murderous column in today's edition. Read the whole article here.

Brooker is much more than just a liar (the truth is vast populations of the civilized world are emploring God for a Bush victory). By his words, Mr. Brooker, has revealed himself to also be a blasphemer, a heretic, and a goulish advocate of the culture of death that has infected the world's few remaining leftists.

Now it's time for Americans to respond to this travesty by flooding the Guardian with e-mails demanding the firing of Charlie Brooker. You can e-mail Emily Bell, the Guardian chief editor, at editor@guardianunlimited.co.uk

SUNDAY UPDATE: The Blogosphere has done it again! The Guardian has issued this correction to the Brooker column:

The final sentence of a column in The Guide on Saturday caused offence to some readers. The Guardian associates itself with the following statement from the writer.

"Charlie Brooker apologises for any offence caused by his comments relating to President Bush in his TV column, Screen Burn. The views expressed in this column are not those of the Guardian. Although flippant and tasteless, his closing comments were intended as an ironic joke, not as a call to action - an intention he believed regular readers of his humorous column would understand. He deplores violence of any kind."
