The Perfect Insult
On Saturdays, I permit myself a small insult as reward for all the hard work during the week. Here’s today’s juicy snippet.
A U.S Congressman is reported to have said of another :
“Like a rotten mackerel in the moonlight, he shines and stinks.â€
Thanks to Matthew Parris in today’s Times (London) for that great one-liner.
The question then arises, who does that remind you of over here in Britain? Answers on a postcard, please, to : 10 Downing Street, London, SW1.
