Bernie is old enough and wealthy enough that he can take the rebound. The same for Max Mosley, 70 years old and wealthy enough to employ a few hookers in nazi regalia. Lucky man, and he has worked for it!
Personally I dont Bernie is a cock for one moment. Hes a very successful man whose machine employs a LOT of people. I applaud him for that and I also applaud him for being totally un PC.
Id be interested in his views on Slobodan Milosevic, there are schools of thought that he was actually doing the world a favour in eradicating moslems.

Whilst it is correct that Hitler "got things done" the problem of course with that approach is that decisions NOT made by at least a reasonably popular consensus frequently come undone in one way or another (Hitler and Hussein are but 2 examples). The aftermath can also be a hell of a mess, undoing a lot or all of what was achieved.
It is short sighted to believe that decisions made in this manner produce the best outcomes - or are you really a klark supporter?

Have to admit I thought Max and Bernie were the same or vice versa. Suspect I was wrong and right at the same time.

It makes me laugh how this is a news-worthy outrage. I think he's right, Hitler was a cunt, but a cunt that got shit done.. Whats wrong with that.

See posts 8 and 16.
They were done at a hell of a price and didn't last.
Is that your measure of success?

Weird how he was a lawyer. Shame more lawyers don't know that.

Having now read the full transcript of Bernies interview I have even more respect for the guy. The guy has worked real hard for where he has got, has got both feet firmly planted on the ground and clearly doesnt suffer fools. He also shares a common respect for Margaret Thatcher. I like that and all power to him.

Sure Stalin did a beter job of getting things done then Hitler, but why do people still love him?

It wasn't his diction or syntax.

I disagree, the hair is of rather less consequence to him than if he was a pretty boy. I bet in percentage terms he also spends rather less on his hair than the average pretty boy, adjudged against income.
Winston Churchill also had rather bad hair, he had bigger fish to fry.
