“Shafted… shower… shits.”

Kirsty Wark on Newsnight just confronted the Cowley Street Vampires (Vince Cable and Simon Hughes) about the demise of Sir Menzies Campbell as Liberal Democrat leader by quoting a fellow Lib Dem MP’s reaction to the news. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the full quote, nor the MP who spoke it*. But it included the line

shafted by a complete shower of shits

Where’s Jeremy Paxman to raise the tone?

*Note, Tuesday 16 October: It was Mike Hancock MP and the full quote was: “I think he was shafted by a complete shower of shits.” Last night’s programme is now streaming on the Newsnight site, if you feel compelled to watch. It’s about 7mins 50 in.

    I’m sure the irony’s not lost on Ming or Charlie Kennedy.
