Sauce for the Goose ...

Rod Liddle carries The Cross in the Spectator this weekend (click on title for link), penning a brave denunciation of the pusillanimous Archbullshitter of Canterbury for his failure to resist Islamic encroachment both in the UK and abroad. As it was a somewhat lengthy treatise, I proffered the following redacted version, for the commentary box, which didn't make the cut:

"Rod , permit me try to summarise your comprehensive, albeit somewhat prolix, article for those who haven't the time to fully absorb your whimsical and informative prose:

Dr Rowan Williams, as the embodiment of the Anglican Church, having been smote on the cheek by the 'mozzies', has not only in accordance with Christ's teachings 'turned the other cheek', but also offered to part the posterior cheeks of his Church, ready for a good shafting by Big Mo. Would Christ approve of the latter submission? Who knows? I know there have been rumours for the past couple of millennia, but I suspect that perhaps he would have adjudged that a couple of cheeks too far.

Is that a fair synopsis?"

Obviously Rod thought not. Or perhaps the moderator spiked it on the grounds of bad taste, blasphemy, or fear of a fatwa. If so, perhaps the article itself should have been censored under the same criteria; particularly as Rod is a sinner with a rap sheet as long as the Dead Sea scrolls.
