:D - brilliant, love the 'stopping in the middle of the song' bit. :)
It's so true, throw in a load of demogogary to all the pseudo-profundity and it is perfectly applicable to politicians. :)
Blair did the pause between words it brilliantly, a few time I actually laughed out load (I am not joking) - once you notice it or have ot pointed out it is so blatantly a performance, but I am surprised at how you can missed it and be taken in with the whole 'fuck this is some heavy shit he is saying'.
With religion you are told the most blatant ideas and sold the idea that you have just heard the most profound and revelatory news, the 'good' man from Samaria (which kind kicked this off) is just exactly that, a basic idea of kindness wrapped up as a profound message.
On that political poem thing he even did the 'get real quiet at the end' bit (I went for 'whipser') - what I did miss out was the 'repeat the last line. Always makes anything sound important. :) I will have to nick that for my speeches. ;P
Right, the new deeply profound 'The Cloud'
The cloud . . .
Knows not W_h_e_r_e (really drag this word out). . .
he ? is going . . . (try and make 'he' sound like a question in it's own right)
Nor . . .
. . .
Will he get there. (always say the final word very very quietly, almost whisper it)
(And once again after a long pause - and now put as a question.)
Will he get there ?
(And finally with entirely arbitrary emphisis)
Will he get there ?
