My lover is pregnant, MP tells his wife

Proof positive that some people embrace leftist politics merely to get laid:

John Hemming, Lib Dem MP

Chatting up anti-war hippie girls with leftist rhetoric was his only option.

Ping!

What a dork ! Got a pic of the babe ?

[MadIvan]

Sadly, no. I do get the sense she'd make me think of old "Eagles" records. The Lib Dems are the Birkenstock crowd.

Mrs. Hemming needs her head examined.

[schwing_wifey]

I guess he's got an appealing personality because he looks like he's taken a beating from an ugly stick.

IMO any woman who puts up with a man who continually disrespects her, should have professional counseling and all his money.

;D

Indeed. Blair looks even better after this - when Robin Cook was having an affair, Blair ordered him, "Make up your mind, you cannot have a wife and a mistress". Cook chose the mistress, and his career was ruined.

In contrast the Lib Dems look positively idiotic to let this serial adulterer run riot.

Isn't that Freddie from the Dreamers (of "Do the Freddie" fame)?

As an aside, the Lib Dems are direct descendents of the old Whig Party. Sir Edmund Burke is rolling over in his grave, as is Gladstone.

[MadIvan]

I am awaiting the ghost of Gladstone, holding a large leather bound book containing all that the Liberal Party believed in during the 19th century, most of which was good and right and true, to come back and beat the present Liberals over the head with said book.

"I meant my vows when I said them 23 years ago." What part of those vows did he not understand?

[MadIvan]

All of them, apparently.

Typical bloody Liberal.

What an ugly rooster.

His wife put with his affairs, eh? She's as sleazy as as her husband for having a lack of values. But that's liberals for y'all nowadays. Non-judgmentalism is da word.

I dont know which is the worse of the two moral messages, Mrs. Hemming, an adultorous pregnancy or being loving money so much that you cannot walk away from an immoral situaion.

[sushiman]

Freddie and his wife ...

[Iowa Granny]

you're right. It's probably the security. I cannot imagine having such incredibly low self esteem that I would stay in a situation like that.

[sushiman]

Oops ...it disappeared ...

"He said his wife, Christine, was "not best pleased"

A fine example of British understatement!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

He needs to tie up something else.
