Quote of the Day

From an article by Andrew Rawnsley in today's Observer which you can read here:

"Precedent was always against Labour winning the next election. Only once in modern British history has a party secured four successive terms in office. Securing another term would be a challenge even if the party was led by a cross between Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill and Jesus Christ. It is instead led by Gordon Brown."

So you approve of blasphemy do you?

Rawnsley's comment was in no way blasphemous.

His point was that for Labour to win a fourth term in the present climate would be challenging even if their leader was a perfect man with great political skills.

I cannot see that it breaks the third commandment, or that it is insulting to Jesus or to the Christian religion, for Andrew Rawnsley to use the name of Jesus to indicate a perfect human being while making that point.
