Will LGF now take up the cause of lesbian communism?

In a shocking about-face, the slimy green lizards hoist a new and rather unlikely idol onto their plinth of worship, knocking Charles Johnson off in the process. Their new hero is no other than the radical communist and sharp-feathered lesbian icon Julie Burchill (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=9107_Burchill_to_Leave_Guardian).

Burchill, known to many Guardian readers as the scourge of their Saturday morning, claims to be stepping down from her post as shock-columnists on the Grauniad. The fact that her editors have started publicly question whether she really deserves her six-figure salary surely has nothing to do with her decision. No, she is making a principled stand against anti-Semitism, of which she feels the Guardian is a major defender. Well blow me down. Burchill, who rarely has a nice word left over for her fellow human beings and regularly resorts to the crassest of racial and national stereotypes now claims she can see rights through the Guardian's balanced and carefully-worded reporting and discovers it is really all about hating Jews. That, in a nutshell, is the reason she is leaving for the Times. Oh, and don't forget the extra money her new employers are offering her. Taraa, Julie.
