The sad truth out Youth

Was it just me - or was Nick Cleggs failure to know the 'fairy Tale of New York', the oddest thing in the news last week. One wonders whether than man ever does christmas shopping at all ( surely why the song is so popular, is it is less irritating than all the rest of the Christmas-play horrors).
What of course it does show is the deep problem about wanting to have 'young' political leaders. If one is under fifty, and capable of going through all the tedious rigmarole necessary to be elected leader of a political party, one is almost be definition a Geek. 
In effect two political parties are therefore lead now by that weirdest of creatures, Geeks who have been puffed up into pretending they are some how normal. Men who are then, even as we speak 'studying normality', as best they may. Men who will strive to be as typical as possible: Until of course one has those delicous moments (like last weeks) when they are suddenly caught on the hop - and they abnormality is revealed to all.
 We could all have a lot of fun here! But personally, when it comes to government, and not comedy  I prefer to have honest weirdo's n charge, then Geek you are striving to be normal...
