Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson to be Mayor of London

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, who once described himself, quite flatteringly, as a buffoon, appears to have been elected Mayor of London, displacing the competent but unpleasant Ken Livingsone.

I never even thought he was that funny on the radio.

I predict that Londoners will regret this, although not as much as we regret Bush — but only because the Mayor of London doesn’t have as much power as even the Mayor of New York.

Boris may be a buffoon, but at least he's not a communist one.

Bloody good news! Praise the Lord! Thank God!
There is hope for Londonistan. What will Red Ken do next?

Ken had some strange political philosophy, said bad stuff, and seems to be a nasty nasty man. But despite his many flaws he was a very effective Mayor for London.

There's an amusing, and surprisingly unremarked upon, irony in this story: Ken Livingstone likes salamanders. Boris Johnson resembles a salamander.
