Daphne Guinness on awards shows and the US elections
On a more sombre note, the carnage in Jerusalem last week was awful. Jerusalem is such a wonderful place with so many different faiths. Having just visited, I was amazed at the way that everybody lives side by side. It is difficult to understand unless you have seen it and it was very different to what I expected. Israel should be supported and it makes me furious when the continuing Palestinian crisis is blamed exclusively on Israel and not at all on the Palestinians’ execrable leaders (Arafat was one of the worst in the world) and the hypocrisy of some of the surrounding Arab states. Of course Israel makes mistakes, but it is the only country in the world that faces an existential threat. One forgets how small they are and the extent to which they are surrounded by forces who wish for their annihilation. Go and see for yourself — it is terrifying. Dark times indeed.

March 17th, 2008 8:57pmHillary Clinton as Rasputin. What a hoot! Well done, Daphne. It's beyond my ken what people see in her. She's fake, disingenuous to a fault and her forced joviality on the campaign trail makes my teeth hurt. Oh, yes, and she and her spouse seem to have no qualms about dabbling in racism, or telling their minions to do so. I look forward to Obama's victory.
