I’ll bet you anything that our Olympic team would have given anything to have Judas on board in Beijing. Thirty pieces of silver? Makes your mouth water. What a sorry excuse for an Olympic Squad this lot turned out to be.

Never mind we’ll be hearing the post mortems on this one until we’re all sick of it.

Speaking of Judas, our decision to walk away from the ICC Trophy in Pakistan has to be a bit of a Judas as well. I’m not going to bore you with the politics, which I follow closely, but I will say this: the decision should have been put off for another few days to assess the impact of the new presidential election coming up in early September.

During apartheid Pakistan never once compromised it’s principles on supporting a multiracial democracy and the least we owed them was not prematurely pulling the trigger that might well collapse the tournament.

Our continued consistency in always doing the wrong thing when it comes to foreign affairs is still intact.

What is not intact is Essop Pahad with the latest racist outburst from this government. Whites want the World Cup to fail because they prefer rugby?

No wonder he’s been so successful in helping Zimbabwe. What’s it now — 11 million percent inflation?

Worst case of foot and mouth disease in the country.

The only time he opens his mouth is to change feet.
