Politics is so great. In no other field are so many declaimers of moral rectitude so often caught playing away from home.
Guardian columnist Simon Hoggart is the latest beau to be linked with American Princess Kimberly Quinn née Fortier. Now I was brought up not to subscribe to the virgin/whore polarisation of women so I have tried to find positives in Mrs Quinn’s activities. Firstly, I appreciate women who have thrown off the victorian social chastity belt and have embraced their sexuality. Furthermore, she obviously has phenomenal organisational skills, managing to handle a husband, child, full-time job and two (known) lovers. Any future employer will certainly be impressed with her ability to manage her time.
Hoggart however, has provided the a year in its dying days with its funniest quote. From today’s Guardian, “We did have a sexual relationship, which started before her marriage, but the relationship became very infrequent indeed afterwards”. In my limited experience, a relationship tends to be on or off - frequent or infrequent doesn’t seem to apply. The words could of course apply to casual shagging. Was Hoggart Mrs Quinn’s “fuck-friend”?
Mrs Quinn is undoubtedly a beautiful and captivating woman - I hope to meet her myself one day - and one can’t blame Hoggart and Blunkett for seeing something special in the woman. There are questions however over Mr Quinn’s talents. One assumes there must have been something missing in their partnership and later marrige to motivate her roving eye. I can’t quite comprehend how she kept at least two concurrent lovers secret from him unless he is one of the least observant men on the planet. It is also a mystery why she married him in the first place.
But then again, I am a simple man and destined never to truly understand the inner workings of a woman. I’ll stick to mastering the outer-workings.

I think it would be fair to say that Mr Clarke is a regular...
Listening to the “News Quiz” will never be quite the same again, methinks.

Monkey, really, you missed an opportunity to go on about hypocritical hacks (Hoggart denied and then ‘clarified’ his original statement) to talk about something you know nothing about, viz, women. Not to mention marriage. Please stick to doing what you do best.

“Was Hoggart Mrs Quinn’s “fuck-friend”?”
Isn’t the correct term “fuck-buddy”?

Monkey boy, taking the piss out of a blind man is just wrong. Leave the guy alone, just because he was in love and didn’t see this coming…

Probably, but this has generally been used to classify the relationship between casual, but regular, gay partners. In the circumstances I think “fuck-friend” is probably better.
As for Kimberley Quinn/Fortier, I wonder whether the real purpose of her extra-marital liaisons (and I make no moral judgement here, it’s none of my business) was to obtain the services of men suitable to be the genetic father of children she wanted to have, her husband apparently having had a vasectomy, the reversal of which might not be siccessful. It may be as brutally simple as that, possibly coupled with a desire to be in the company of men in the public eye who are obviously clever and suitable parent material.

First Angus, now Hoggart. What is it about the hosts of topical news quizzes?

Is Bill suggesting that Ms Quinn was attempting to create some sort of Nietzsche-ian superman? The humour and snappy writing style of Hoggart, the carthorse work ethic and determination of Blunkett mixed with her own timekeeping skills to create the next generation of political hack?

Nothing to do with Blunkett being hung like a horse then?
