Nostalgie de la boue

I see that the Tories are in trouble again over sleaze. I did admire this quote from Mr Osborne (cited in The Telegraph):
Shadow Chancellor George Osborne today found himself having to defend Mrs Spelman during a trip to Washington.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Caroline Spelman is someone of enormous integrity and honesty, so I think her statement speaks for itself and her character speaks for itself.

Such enormous integrity and honesty that she thought it was OK to pay her nanny from her parliamentary allowances.
