I can't help feeling a bit sorry for Jacqui Smith over the calls for her resignation following the porn movie expense claim fiasco - and not just because of our bizarre lookylikey contection.
Quite frankly, she would expect any assistant she employed to complete her expense claim correctly - we can't expect the Home Secretary to micromanage her office as well as the police and judiciary. She would also expect her husband to at least remember he had paid for porn on a particular service, regardless of whether or not she knew he was watching adult movies.
But sadly she apprears to employ and be married to someone who, at least in this case, falls into the category of "eejit" - to use the technical Irish term.
A call for Smith's resignation is harsh - if every politician with an embarrassing family member was to resign we'd be having a general election next week and a few famous faces such as Mrs T wouldn't have survived.
