Hilarious! Still don't know what to think of him. He is a great comedy host, but I'm not sure I'd want him as my mayor. At least he's all about fairness in sport: http://www.videosift.com/video/Boris-Johnson-Ruthless-Tackle

Yeah, I don't think I actually like his politics... but to take something that usually a fairly officious and serious occasion, and turn it into a standup routine on the world stage, that's something I can appreciate!

yeah i gotta give props for that, that is exactly how it should be done. whether or not the olympics will be great is another question but with leadership like that...

Moving this video to spoco2's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

*beg for the official insanity!

spoco2 cannot send this video to Beggar's Corner because spoco2 does not have enough Power Points - ignoring beg request by spoco2. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

wow this needs a beg?
i wanna *promote it

it's the freaking mayor of freaking london doing a freaking standup comedy act and it can't get out of the queue? wow.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by MINK.

maybe change the title to "Mayor of London turns Olympics speech into standup comedy" or "Mayor of London skateboarding accident"

*politics?

Adding video to channels (Politics) - requested by MINK.

I didn't vote for him, but I'm glad he's enthusiastic about the games. I would have liked to have seen Ken's speech though

nah... ken doesn't cut it.
a voice so famously dreary, blur used it for a song about a boring man.

i don't think the politics really matter much, he hasn't got the power to cripple london, as mayor he just needs to be upbeat and inspire others to do good work, and i think he does that better than ken.
