Amidst all of the many remarkably non-revelatory WikiLeaks stories, it was heartening to see the word "feckless" still in use, having been used to describe Silvio Berlusconi.
I last heard it in Nick Lowe's Rose of England, where "for her feckless boy she did weep and wail".
It brings to mind the image of everyone scurrying for their dictionaries to look up "recalcitrant" after Paul Keating famously dismissed Mahatir, the Malaysian Prime Minister, for so being.
