So let's watch it. It's good. I mean, it's an interesting tactic (or
"zactic") he employs here, I have to say. But I think - it's
early days I know - but I THINK this interview will DEFINITELY provoke
the immediate cessation of all public interest in Channel 4's admittedly small scoop about his election expenses. I mean, I for one
certainly can't see anyone paying the slightest attention to this story
NOW:
I
suppose another route Goldsmith COULD have gone down would have
been simply to answer the questions put to him WITHOUT prefacing this
explanation with a six-and-a-half-minute tirade of injured, bawling bumdrool. I suppose he MIGHT have, say, made some attempt to win over the
undecided by toning down the contemptuous, leather-lipped,
head-prefect schtick a tad. Or left out the threats. But all this is
academic now: Zac Goldsmith went on Channel 4 News last night and
he silenced the critics. Not that there were any critics of course.
Because he totally diverted attention away from the story with the
simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of being a witless,
nightmarishly overpriviliged bubblenaut, obviously. Smooth.
"Sarcasm." Videogum
(I
did try to find an image of Zac's win to illustrate this - you know, the
one with his bang-haired, pink brother/campaign-manager standing
wild-eyed beside him like Mole out of "Windy City Heat" but all Google would feed me were reams of this Ayn Rand, next-year's-model shit. Poor Zac's brother/campaign-manager.)
