Dr. Frank's What's-it

Maybe it would have been

Maybe it would have been funnier if he'd been wearing a dress...

Another feeble attempt at humor by notoriously unfunny Independent columnist Mark Steel:

As mothers reach out to touch their dying children they'll be thinking, "Thank God Clare [Short]'s still in the Cabinet, so at least this site can be converted into a pedestrian precinct." If only Bin Laden had thought of this excuse. He could have said to Bush, "I know I've knocked your towers over, but I promise I'll help to rebuild them," and the two of them would now be the best of friends.

Oh, I say, my dear fellow! Ripping goak, what? Haw, haw, and all that?

Is it possible to be insipid and offensive, hyperbolic and trivial, all at the same time? I hadn't thought so, but it turns out I was wrong.
