Hey as long as the Kinks aren’t involved with this I could not care less about Peter Gabriel.

I would like to have the Depends concession whenever those incontinent old fools meet.

No doubt the name was chosen to provide an alternative to, and thus emphasize their opposition to, “The Elders of Zion,” without making it too obvious that they actually believe in judenhass propaganda.

I hope some terrorist they try to negotiate with fails to grasp the subtle difference, and blows the lot of them to hell.

Peter Gabriel was forever ruined for me by an ex-boyfriend who turned stalker, I’m sorry to say. Gabriel’s presence at the party was just a shoulder-shrug to me.

“So” was my favorite album of his. I still can’t really listen to it.

I guess that’s a reason for me to go out there once again and shoot another nun in the back.

No, wait, that’s not how I react to criticism… Well, I guess it’s a good thing they criticize what I believe in and not what Usama Bin Laden believes in! Nuns are saved!

Mark Steyn linked to the LA Times article at the Corner where he mentions Peter Gabriel’s involvement in this Elders thing. Puh-lease. And I downloaded a Peter Gabriel song a few week ago too. Now this guy is disappointing.

The Elders have a motto waiting for them: Gravitas – Auctoritas – Senilitas.

Now we need a logo with the motto’s initials tastefully highlighted.

I say that Hugh is almost correct: these senile nits and Branson their puppeteer should all be called out as menaces to all but situational morality. Jimmy ought to be slinging his hammer on a roof, Mandela should go necktie himself, and Tutu should advise the LA Archdiocese on how to appear moral while being anything but. And if the former UN were really honest she would give all her money away and follow in Mother Teresa’s footsteps—helping the homeless. But they won’t and fools will keep buying their ghostwritten semiliterate books.

I suppose a comic called “League of Extraordinary Anti-Semites” could be made out of this.

It’s a shame that Israel doesn’t have the clout to declare each of them, including Branson, as persona non grata within her territory.

Then again, such an act would upset Shimon Peres.
