23.1.06Last word on the oating of OutenWell, it's my last word anyhow, after numerous comments on the matter here and here, among others. Not much to say on the facts either: what Oaten did was (a) stupid for a politician and (b) not really anyone else's business outside of the Oaten family. Tim and Clive have rounded it up if you've been in space since Sunday. Garry has a theory about a traitor that might have legs.Nah, I just want to give a final thought on the detritus. I see two possibilities. The first: Guido (and probably Popbitch) had absolutely nothing to do with this story coming out. He was just indulging his renowned penchant for self-fellating in public, this time dancing on the corpses of the Family Formerly Known as Oaten. (Though he's not the only one sniffing a bit of circulation in this. I'd have thought a man with two daughters himself would have spotted a good moment to keep quiet.) Scenario 2: Guido did in fact have the full story, as he implies (Did it hint enough?). But, and this is the funny bit, he didn't have the balls to break it. He's sitting on the scoop of the year, and he recorded a bit of frat-boy homo-banter and some paedo jokes in the pub. Obviously, it's Scenario One. But I do wish it was Two, if only because it would tell us something about the grotty little homophobe that he doesn't brag about on his blog.
