“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.
