Stop press! UK minister speaks the truth!

He used to grate on my nerves but I find that Peter Hain, prospective candidate for the Labour Party deputy leadership, is now growing on me with his assertion that the Bush administration is the most right wing in living memory.

"It’s not only failed to provide a coherent international policy, it’s failed wherever it’s been tried, and it’s failed with the American electorate, who kicked it into touch last November. The problem for us as a government…was actually to maintain a working relationship with what was the most right-wing American administration, if not ever, then in living memory."

Yeah. I think I could grow to like him.
