<<Oooooooooooooh. Well if it's ok with you where he turns up then I 
absolutely change my mind. If you think the prize was for literature 
and not politics then you're more of an idiot than I thought.>>

Gees, Carville, I didn't know you thought about me at all.

No one here who has criticized Pinter's choice has done so for any 
reason other than his politics; i.e., they seem neither to have read or 
seen his work.

As for the choice being political, I doubt he warmed himself to the 
Nobelers with his public offerings to Tony Blair of another draught of 
blood and other such quips and jibes.  But then, what do I know?  Maybe 
you'll tell me, Carville, what the political thread is that runs from 
Pinter to Elfriede Jelinek to V.S. Naipaul to Dario Fo to Gunther Grass 
to Seamus Heaney to whomever you choose.

<< Next he'll be turning up at Saddam Hussein's trial, unwrapping Murray

Mints and passing them to the hairy old Iraqi Dictator, maybe slipping
below decks
to give him the occassional gam? >>

He can turn up wherever he wants with no gripe from me.  The prize was
for
literature, not for politics agreeable to JCarvill.
