McBride, that irrelevant muppet and the faux outrage he caused

This really is much ado about nothing — it’s no different to the expenses nonsense. They’re all at it. It’s what they do. They fiddle and they scheme, and one or two, might actually do some work once in a while.
Politicians like to claim that they’re morally superior to us, or that they’re in the know about things we'll never comprehend, but in reality they’re like the rest of us: a mix of shirkers, workers, liars, pervs, twats and smart-arses (have I missed anyone?). MPs are no different to that bunch of goons and loons you work with. No better, and probably no worse. It's the anthropology, stupid.
Guido’s desperate to make this a big deal because it feeds his gargantuan ego. Is it really news that politicos scheme against one-another? No, don’t be so daft you silly hypocritical gonad.
If the political blogosphere really is going to be the antidote to the MSM, rather than its desperate echo-chamber, we really have to be better than this.

Knobs, the lot of them.
Quite right.
Well said Tyger.McBride was a twat but that's nothing remarkable in his line of work is it?
if yu admire Guido Fawkes, then yu are going to get it,
as seen by the outcome of the Damien saga.
Paul Staines is allowed to flourish. He is on the FT's Westminister Blogroll and allowed to comment on their blogs. He claims to be a "Campaigning " journalist, but his activity falls outside the PCC's remit.
The welcome wobbly created by Paul Staines I hope will trigger a deeper look at blogs and what they are allowed to get away with.
Mr STaines has been accused of being anti-state, homophobic, racist, and sexist.
