More Boris

Several papers this morning are running glowing testimonials to Yeltsin's prodigious alchohol consumption. The Sun has published a World Leaders' Caners League and reminded us that Churchill, despite being a capitalist running dog, sustained himself throughout the day with claret and soda , a bottle of champagne with dinner, port after meals, brandy after port, and a martini nightcap.

They also mention Stalin who liked the booze but neglected to mention that he had nightly parties where guests were forced to drink round after round of vodka and he used to make the politburo dance on the table to an old recording of 'How Much Is That Doggie In The Window'.

The Caners League also includes Pitt the Younger, Richard Nixon, George Brown, Peter the Great.

Inexplicably, they've included someon called Charles Kennedy in this league of World Leaders.

Famous for being in charge of a minor UK party and for being a bit ginger as far as I can make out.
