You think Ashdown was a looker…? He’s always had those narrowed little eyes, like he was peering through a letter slot, trying get a load of some yummy mummy changing her shorts…

JFK, Clinton – well, yeah, you’ve probably got me there. Bill Clinton – pwhooaaar. He’d get it. Still.

JFK – good hair, but maybe his eyes were a bit close together…? I wouldn’t have said No to a place in that queue, though.

Tony Blair – nah, voice too high. I like a man whose knackers give a good clang. Always rather liked Charles Kennedy to be honest – bit on the cuddly side, but jolly with it. And pissed all the time, but hey – who isn’t?

The Crunch was the perfect opportunity for all of the main parties (NOT just Labour) to swap leaders. Both Cameron and Clegg are lightweight heirs-to-blair, and not terribly pretty or pert really, and any party deciding to install Someone Serious would have better reflected the public mood.

Who knows, could Brown’s relative age and grimly miserable face lie behind the narrowing poll results? Have Labour been saved by little Milliband’s failure of nerve and bladder?

I’m betting it’s not *men* who give a shit how a politician’s wife looks. I doubt most of us could pick Sarah Brown out of a lineup, let alone assess her accessorising.

It’s not men’s magazines which publish interviews with politicians’ spouses.

Going to lie down with a wet cloth on my forehead.

Bring back Barbara Bush, my new icon. I used to think she should get a stairmaster and a bucket of henna, but see now that she was making the ultimate feminist statement – old, pudgy and proud. Like her.

Also, as I suspect most of you are aware (especially if you’ve been plodding the streets recently) some people absolutely despise ALL politicians, so if they like the gals and that sways their vote then cool I guess.
