Chris Huhne: You Couldn't Make It Up!

Richard Littlejohn has been working himself into quite a sweat while thinking about lesbians.
Again.
Lib Dem MP Chris Huhne has been outed as having an affair... with a lady who likes ladies!.
"When the pictures of Chris Huhne's mistress were published, she looked familiar," muses Littlejohn in today's Daily Mail. "I recognised her from the days we both used to work for Sky News. Funny, I thought to myself, I always had her marked down as a lesbian.
"Turns out I was half-right. Carina Trimingham is bisexual. Even though she's currently sweating up the sheets with Huhne, it's not that long ago since she married her lesbian lover in a civil partnership ceremony.
"Takes all sorts. According to profiles, among the many jobs she's had over the past few years was working as press officer for AC/DC.
"That would explain it. You couldn't make it up."
Though I sometimes wonder if Richard Littlejohn doesn't make it up.
Maybe he has one of those machines Orwell imagined at The Ministry of Truth in 1984 that writes this drivel for him.
He just types in a word like "lesbian" and off it goes, vomiting out copy complete with his trademark catchprases ("You couldn't make it up!") and homophobic cliches.
"If you asked a cartoonist to draw a comedy lesbian from central casting, Carina Trimingham is what you'd get - all spiky haircut and Doc Martens. Chuck in a boiler suit and she's Millie Tant, straight from the pages of Viz magazine.
What Huhne sees in her can only be a matter for speculation."
And there are few thing Littlejohn loves more than idle speculation; "[Huhne's] ability to perform his duties as Minister of Windmills may not be affected, but this affair inevitably raises questions about his judgment.
While love can be blind, did he know when he began the relationship that Miss Trimingham was already 'married' to a lesbian?"
Almost certainly, yes.
Do you have a point, dear?
"Most of us couldn't care less what consenting adults get up to in private, provided it doesn't involve children or animals.
To pretend that prurient disapproval is what is driving this story is dishonest.
What matters here is not the sex, it's the lies, hypocrisy and blatant deception."
No, that's dishonest and blatant hypocrisy, Mr Littlejohn.
No other commentator has made nearly as much of the "lesbian love triangle" angle of this affair as you.
All that's driving your story is a prurient disapproval about a subject you're curiously clearly obsessed with.
You couldn't make it up!
