What have Adams, Schickelgruber and Blair got it common? They're politicians..(Lanfranc)

With one exception. Adams has shed his blood for his beliefs. More than you can say for the others.(Big Mick)

Dangerous using that as a measure of a man's worth. Hitler actually seems to have been brave enough as a soldier in the Great War, and was gassed.

The latter half of Big Mick's post about the courage shown by Adams in moving the Republican Movement away from the violence is more to the point.

And I can't see the others having the nerve and the self-mockery to talk about tree hugging and such.

Maybe we'll see Gerry getting together with Prince Charles before long.
