A Little Comment Goes A Long Way . . .

Two days late, our new bi-weekly feature.

Shorter Natasha Walter: When I decide what to see at the cinema, I'm more bothered about the gender of the director than whether it's any good or not.

Shorter Agnes Poirier: I'm so bored by the story of Marie-Antoinette I thought I'd write a column about her.

Shorter Larry Elliott: It seems that Gordon Brown would like to be Prime Minister!

Shorter David Epstein: Money can't buy Terrell Owens happiness.

Shorter Peter Tatchell: Watch as I magically turn a meaningless insult muttered at a moment of high stress into a homophobic incident.

Shorter Jim Wild: The Amish school shooter was just like other men, only a bit more manly.

Shorter Will Hutton: Naomi Klein says capitalism is bad. I agree, and British companies aren't good enough at it.

Shorter Michelle Malkin: Charlotte Church's lungs are public property.

Shorter Fiona Millar: Parents who give their children 'light taps' and 'trivial smacks' are child-abusers too.

Shorter Sarita Malik: Policemen shouldn't have to protect people who they philosophically disagree with.

Shorter Ros Taylor: The reason the Conservatives suck is that they insist on holding their party conference at the seaside.

Shorter Gary Younge: White people are solely responsible for the rise of Islamic extremism.

Shorter Peter Preston: If only the EU was designed like the Ryder Cup, with one purpose and one common enemy.

Comments:
These are very funny, but what were their original contexts?
