Manic is impressed

Manic is impressed that 'Guido' has managed a name-check via the Telegraph and Downing Street.

Manic is equally impressed that 'Guido' is capable of typing anything on what must be a very sticky keyboard this morning.

Manic is also impressed by the ongoing success of the 'Sith' branding, as he has not seen the like since the Republicans made the Star Wars parody Election Wars, casting themselves as a bunch of earnest rebels.

But, above all, Manic is especially impressed that the words 'Policy Exchange' have not appeared in the comments of Paul Staines' website - at all - in the 3 days since this article went live.

(Manic suspects that Staines' acolyte 'Dizzy' may just have been onto something when - sounding for all the world like the Labour astro-turfers that 'Guido' is always whining about - he proclaimed it to be a non-story.)
