I am the Jesus Christ of politics
Although bad boy Berlusconi now refers to himself as the “Jesus Christ of Politics”, I think that position has to go to old Lib Dem leadership contender Ming. That’s not because I think he’d be the saviour of the Lib Dems but because he seems to have avoided committing any sin. All the other candidates have had their skeletons dragged out of the closet: ‘Rent Boy’ Oaten, ‘I hate gays but am one’ Hughes and just last weekend “I had my hand in the EU till like all the other MEPs but I don’t think I’m a millionaire” Huhne. But nothing has appeared on Campbell. He’s been in politics the longest yet no one’s done the nasty on him yet. Perhaps as we’re in the last week of the leadership campaign something will appear.
On another note - I wish, I wish, I wish that I’d put a bet on Huhne at 100 to 1 a month ago. If he wins then I’m going to cry.

You’d think that being implicated in the ‘Purple Death from Outer Space’ and ‘The Peril from Planet Mongo’ would be enough to knock Ming out of the race. I guess his mercilessness makes him so ideal for political life that people are prepared to overlook such minor indiscretions. Remember Liberals there’ll be no end to this rubbish punning if you elect him.

Looks like i was wrong- the reason there’s no dirt on Ming is because he’s the one dishing it out…see this
