outrageous political pundit echoes emperor(6) *E*S*R
Et bien.....

[fiction-factory]

something that sounds like CAESER?

[fiction-factory]

Caesar sorry.
Probably off beam anyway

[bookbinder]

seizer/Caesar

[fiction-factory]

I was on track after all but was thrown by the S

[highbury57]

Merci, mille fois.

[highbury57]

I'm still not quite there. Neither seizer nor Caesar quite fits. Or am I being dense

[fiction-factory]

Seizer is the suggested answer, Where was the S from- could it be a Z? I am not 100 percent sure of seizer though- not sure where pundit fits in

[highbury57]

the s came from Icarius. He organised a legendary chariot race in which one vehicle in two reached America

Seiser , alt spelling ?

[fiction-factory]

mmm- i have learnt a new word/spelling there, thanks Mamyalynne- but I'm not sure it fits the first part of the clue

[highbury57]

But it's still not really close to the definition is it? Dimness is taking me over!

[Mamyalynne]

I don't see it as the definition either to be honest.

something that sounds like Kaiser?
