    Why give this one to this idiot. It took the shine off the one given to Ian Botham.

    They hand these things out willy-nilly these days. Looking at some of the clowns who have got knighthoods Rushdie may as well get one too.

    True. But Ian Botham deserves it for sure (not that I give a damn about Knighthoods as I am very anti-Monarch). He was a great cricketer and raised in excess of $20 million for charities.
