Poor Charles Kennedy. You'd think the British electorate would have taken a piss artist to their hearts, what with their recent deification of George Best. And isn't the affable Scottish drunk one of those hackneyed national stereotypes we're meant to adore? Given the choice between that and a coke-addled posh spaz with all the political gravitas of Tim Henman, I know which way I'd turn in a time of national crisis...Poor Graeme Souness. Another Scottish stereotype made flesh (this time the 'fierce disciplinarian'), he too could be shown the door due to an invariably losing mix of arrogance and ineptitude. This is the man who inherited the most successful team in the history of the football league and bestowed upon it the calamitous footballing triumvirate of Phill Babb, Jason McAteer and David James. Whilst manager of Southampton, he also famously brought on a player with no professional footballing experience on the dubious basis that he claimed to be George Weah's cousin.
Both men must be cursing their luck. If only they'd be handed their P45s a few weeks earlier, a place in the new series of Celebrity Big Brother would have been a dead cert. As it is, George Galloway gets to do battle with Dennis Rodman over who cops a blow job from Jodie Marsh in the Big Brother diary room. Oh, and Michael Barrymore's in there too. Better hope Preston from the Ordinary Boys doesn't meet an unfortunate end in the Jacuzzi...
