Des Browne mauled on Today


If you want to hear an example of a politician being publically mauled then listen to defence secretary Des Browne being interviewed by John Humphreys on Today this morning.
It started badly with Browne accusing Humphreys of not having read the ruling and saying his introduction was full of inaccuracies.

Humphreys then attempted to go thru his introduction point by point with Browne digging his heals in over every point.

Humphreys insisting on reciting what the judge said and accused Browne of splitting hairs.

The breaking point came as the Today presenter accused the Defence secretary of going to court to stop the legal process investigating the failings of equipment in Iraq.Browne would not except that issue and Humphreys kept asking why he is appealing against the judgement.

By the end of the interview Browne was flaying seemingly losing the plot and repeating the same line over and over again.Then to finish him off,Humphreys brought up the issue of Bae.

Marvellous listening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
