Precisely, "Comic" not "comedian".
Hislop is a comic writer, his intention is to elicit laughter, therefore he is a comic but not a comedian.

Quote:
com·ic (kmk)
adj.
1. Characteristic of or having to do with comedy.
2. Of or relating to comic strips.
3. Amusing; humorous: a comic situation involving the family's pets.
n.
1.
a. A comedian.
b. A person whose behavior elicits laughter.
2.
a. comics Comic strips.
b. A comic book.
3. A source of humor in art or life.

Bloody hell - now I'm cheering Shitslop on for skewering Mensch about the Fox/Werrity affair.

I know, good isn't he.
I realise that's a controversial position given that amongst some on here he is the real enemy.
I anticipate stout defences of Louise Mensch now that evil talentless bastard has put her in her place. :roll:

I was about to snap back with, "Well I know which one I'd rather be in bed with". Lucky I stopped myself really.

Mensch is trending on Twitter, where she is generally being ripped a new one. Apart from one Tweet by a 'fashion writer' who thinks she has 'shown the boys up' with her 'intelligence'.

@CarryOnScarlett Scarlett Russell
Louise Mensch is outstanding on Have I Got News For You. The boys are furious that a woman is more intelligent than them. Go girl!!

Tweet her to tell her she is deluded...

The best bit was Merton getting indignant about her loathsome and very Tory attitude towards those outside St Pauls. Fucking idiot (Mensxh I mean).

There's some bizarre editing on that programme.

There's subtly playing to the gallery which Merton does, and there's turning to them practically holding a sign up saying "Aren't I clever?" which Hislop does. I also get really irritated by that trick of turning his head right over his shoulder and looking upwards when he's saying something cynical.


This.

Not the world's biggest Hislop fan, but I have to say I enjoyed Mensch being shown up, and deservedly so.

They enjoy all the benefits of capitalism etc etc... Oh yes, very effective...

The voice of the rich and powerful mocking those who aren't.

As a Corby-ite, anyone who pillories Mensch is good in my book. Even if it is Hislop...

I liked the way Hislop's attempt to refute her claim was abandoned as being just too silly to bother with. Mensch's rictus was stretched to it's limits. She knows fine well that people are obligated to live within the financial system they're born into until such time as it changes. Paul Merton picked her up on it well with his 'Have they drank coffee 'cos if they have I don't wanna know!" remarks.

I think the extended version is on tonight, though.
