Campbell is De Gaulle

Robert Harris, the best political journalist in Britain, in a good article on the Hutton Report aftermath has a wonderful description of Alistair Campbell's performance last week:

"Alastair Campbell has hogged the airwaves over the past few days, revelling in his triumph, delivering statements and interviews in various grand presidential settings like a cut-price General de Gaulle. His self-obsession is almost comic, and anyone in need of a good laugh in these depressing days should be sure to catch his sports column in The Times. "

Read it all, as they say.
