Yeah, Nadine It's Totally The Same

Ah Nadine Dorries. She just can't stop with the stupid can she?

The atmosphere at Westminster has become so "unbearable" due to expenses revelations that a suicide is feared, one MP named in the row has warned.

...In an interview with the BBC, Ms Dorries, who was a nurse before she came into politics, said MPs were walking around "with terror in their eyes" and likened the atmosphere to that surrounding Senator Joseph McCarthy's "witch-hunts" of Communists during the 1950s

Nadine Dorries there, making reference to Joseph McCarthy's lesser known 'British MP's and their fraudulent expenses witch-hunt' where the following infamous question was asked;

Are you now or have you ever been a member of parliament claiming taxpayer money to pay off a non-existent mortgage or to purchase a house for a duck?

Got to love Labour MP Stephen Pounds' response though (it's a strange sensation typing the words love and Labour that close together, I can tell you),

Mr Pound dismissed the analogy as "facile" because "Senator McCarthy's victims were innocent".

Zing.
