All the highly-placed anagrams by Richard Grantham from the 2007 Anagrammy Awards.

ANAGRAMMY CHALLENGE CATEGORY, January 2007:
2nd - Richard Grantham with:
Swift's Epitaph by William Butler Yeats

Swift has sailed into his rest;
Savage indignation there
Cannot lacerate his breast.
Imitate him if you dare,
World-besotted traveller; he
Served human liberty. =
Damn thing's a bit similar to a tiny wreath-fanfare that was scribbled by verbalist W.H.Auden:

"Earth, receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel lie
Emptied of its poetry."

 

MEDIUM LENGTH CATEGORY, March 2007:
1st - Richard Grantham with:
"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test." =
Alas, what a rather too delectably ironic lapse by our elected shithead.

1st - Richard Grantham with:
Widescreen plasma televisions =
View in detail seems no less crap.

 

ANAGRAMMY CHALLENGE CATEGORY, May 2007:
3rd - Richard Grantham with:
"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know." (US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld)

=

Most Westerners now know that his unenlightened guesswork back then was utter twaddle. Therefore we intend not to kowtow to the headstrong old sheriff, and we announce: "There are known hawks, yet no unknown hawks; there are known wankers, yet no unknown wankers."

Surely isn't good.
