He's an idiot in some ways, being vain (the hair transplant), always saying tactless things in public (did he really call Obama 'tanned'?) and obsessed with young women old enough to be his grand daughters (ok, he's not alone in this!). But he does have political cunning, or he wouldn't have survived so long. He has realised that he who controls the media controls the terms of political discourse, hence his media empire. He has managed to wriggle out of attempts to bring him to court, and appears to lead a charmed life. I am genuinely interested in how he does this, and wonder what it will take to finally bring him down?
