The Iraqi Minister of Information, whose ability to defy reality has made him something of a cult figure in the West, has had a website dedicated to his pronouncements which is already drawing massive numbers of hits.
His ability to work for a doomed cause and show fortitude in the midst of great strain is already triggering commentators to wonder about where his talents may be most usefully employed in future. Here are some of my suggestions:
- Manager of Sunderland Football Club (with apologies to Iain Murray)
- Tory Party campaign manager (no explanation really required)
- The manager of George Galloway’s campaign to be known as a great British patriot
- Tony Blair’s humility counsellor
- Spin doctor for the Democrat’s presidential candidate (that’s my top choice)
- George W. Bush’s elocution coach (sorry Dubya, I could not resist)
- Robert Fisk’s psychiatrist (a tough assignment, admittedly)
- Michael Moore’s obesity counsellor (another tough one)
- Chief coach to the English cricket team
And finally,
- Management consultant to the BBC’s news service.
He has to host Saturday Night Live at least once. Or he could always host TOTP. I he could actually fake enthusiasm for the anodyne faceless pop groups who routinely appear on the show.
Re the Sunderland job…

Trust the Geordies to get their first…
If anyone knows his whereabouts please can you get him to call me. I want to sign him for management & commercial exploitation….He’d earn a fortune on chatshows…. I want to do the DVD & I sincerely believe that he’d make a great rap album……

White House Press Secretary!
Public relations agent for Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon?
My client is not fat! Mr. Moore has lost a hundred pounds and will be in the Olympics next year…
“Management consultant to the BBC’s news service”
Why would he want to return to thejob he just quit?
Judge on American (or Pop) Idol. He could probably give Simon a run for the money
Before Rand Simberg and Jay Manifold beat me to it – head of NASA.
Oh, come on y’all! You know it’s really Ali G.
Actually, I concurred on heading up the DNC.
Actually Ali G is not that good, its Rory Bremner. Am I the only one to think Ali G is offensive in extremis and would like to one of his victims beat the shit out of him?
Surely he should be an announcer for South West trains.
