A bit late for this award, but better late than never.
For the last couple of years, our Man of the Year has been Hugo Chavez, the man the faux-left and their warmongering neocon allies love to hate. But while Hugo played another blinder in 2009, both at home in Venezuela and on the international stage, I thought we'd give the dear boy a break for this year's award.
Herman van Rompuy, the modest and amiable Belgian politician has two great achievements to his name. First he kept his wonderful country together during his time as Prime Minister.
Second, his name is not Tony Blair.
If ever you feel a little bit down in 2010, just keep repeating the following words
'Tony Blair is not EU President'.
The neocons and their faux-left allies certainly wanted him to be.
But Herman scuppered their plans. And witnessing their indignation that a Belgian- yes a Belgian- and not the great World Statesman Blair landed the EU's top job, was one of the treats of the year.

Well, much better Van Rompuy than Blair and Belgium is a great country but i'm not sure this is enough for politician of the year.
We'll see what he does and says in 2010. I get the feeling that he will continue to play the invisible man. I'm still not sure if this will be a good thing or a bad thing.
But yes, he is not Blair. Rejoice!
I'm 'not Tony Blair' either, but I don't think I deserve an award for it. It's a sad comment on the state of our species if the best man we can think of in 2009 is Rumpy-pumpy, who some maintain is a:
"new world order" shill bilderberger lizard vatican jesuit belgian ...who spends one day a month in a monastery among an order of silent monks... "
It's the quiet ones you've got to watch.
I agree. I take it you've seen the Jonathan Meades documentary on Belgium?
