Guess the politician. Who said that "unfunded promises are empty and hollow promises"? Who vaunted his "iron resolve for stability and fiscal prudence"? Who promised his party had "learned from past mistakes ... you cannot spend your way out of recession"? And who announced that "To make unfunded promises, to play fast and loose with stability (indeed to play politics with stability) is ... something I will never do and the British people will not accept"?
The answer, of course, is Gordon Brown. Those claims to prudence and responsibility sound risibly hollow now alarm bells are blaring about the future of our public finances - and now that he's proposing to abandon prudence and borrow our way out of debt. He clearly wasn't listening to his own lectures.
Unfortunately, judging by the comments, not everyone is impressed:
David Cameron, the Urban Spaceman himself, is calling somebody else "risibly hollow"? O, the humanity.
Heh.
Update: from the Big Mac:
