At the NATO summit in Bucharest President Bush compares Nicolas Sarkozy with Elvis Presley. So this lazy blogger who should really be writing something serious & earnest about NATO's future opts instead for puerile fun with a few more pop star / politician comparisons:
- Gordon Brown - slightly overweight, gifted but grumpy celt with a massive chip on his shoulder, uncommunicative and distrustful of the press. Van Morrison.
- David Cameron - painfully upper-middle class (despite herculean efforts to appear otherwise), fondness for wearing his heart on his sleeve, preaching to his audience at every turn and riding his bike whenever possible. Chris Martin.
- Nick Clegg. Steve Tyler. Need I say why...?

OK - so who is Gordon's brown-eyed girl? :)
"Nick Clegg- creative genius, unmatched flair with words, perfect delivery. Elvis Costello"
Fixed.
Ken technically is a pop star, in a way: he was featured in Blur's 1995 track 'Ernold Same'. Boris, on the other hand, is a celebrity turned politician. He resembles himself.
Vera Baird (Lab, Redcar) has always reminded me of a young Mick Hucknall.

Nick Clegg ...oh one of those dull techno warbling new Romantics with pretensions and a fringe . OMD or Black.
Ken..Mick Hucknall...( I just hate him and the name works )
Boris - Risk Parfitt?
Van Morrison is the best British soul singer of all time and we'll take that.
Chris Martin is way too cool for Cam. He is more of a drummer than anything. A turkey drummer. Let's say ... Phil Collins.
Nick Clegg ... obviously a virgin bride ... is clearly Cliff Richard with knob on as he's managed to get and stay wed, within a party of bachelors and divorcees.
Vera or Ken as Mick does not work by any criterion, now does it?
