Buzz Lightyear!

At the real risk of getting a bullet, or a fish in the post, or finding a dead horse’s or sheep’s head lounging on the bed, I have to say that Andy’s recent comparison of Mr Berlusconi to Buzz Lightyear had me in stitches! Fair brightened up a dullish Monday morning.

If you’ve ever seen the first Toy Story movie, then you may well be able to understand why this comparison is so apt.

Go on, dig out or rent a copy of Toy Story, and while you are watching it, think about Italy’s latest regurgitated prime minister, and see if you agree with Andy and myself.

    Thanks for the vote, Alex. It was made after I compared Veltroni’s mug shot to Wallace (as in Wallace & Grommit) and I tried to think what character Mr B could be. It just popped into my head immediately!

    OMG. Does this mean I might be in for a bullet or fish or worse?

    You are welcome Andy :-)

    I loved the comparison!

    Probably worthy of a minnow in the post ;-)

    I think Silvio has all of the chin and the ego, and none of the high-tech thinking.

    Kind of like what the late Texas columnist Molly Ivins used to say about Dubya — “All hat, no cowboy”.

    Hi Joe,

    “All hat, no cowboy” – lovely! I like that!

    And maybe you are right about Mr B

    Best,

    Alex
