Eddie Mair thinks he has joined the ranks of GOBBY GUNSLINGERS, the killer interviewers formerly led by Paxman, who think they are kingmakers, but every interview is really about them.
Mair's PM interview with Nick Clegg was loaded with cheap verbal tricks and catches to show how sharp Mair thinks he is. Yet, whether good or bad, Clegg and most other interviewees are doers, while Mair is just a talker.
Or maybe Mair now thinks he is King following Paxman's fall recently when his Cameron interview putrified into a Party Broadcast on Behalf of Sycophancy.
Rottweiller Paxman suddenly turned poodle; slumped, leaning slightly forward, with moist, loving eyes at his buddy. Gone were the snarling questions, replaced with the odd whimper between the long uninterrupted speeches he allowed Macaroon. Welcome to Boot Hill.
