Cherie Blair - My Fake Diary

Jeremy Vine: This is the Old News: on the web

Vine included a story about his time as an Africa correspondent when he was flying out with Blair in his aircraft and the media circus. All the other journalists just wanted to ask about Cherie Blair's cellulite - she had been pictured on holiday in a swimming costume.

Eventually Alistair Campbell took a reporter on one side and said, "don't tell anyone, but the Prime Minister saved a man from drowning while on holiday".

Of course this went round all the journalists very quickly and they all wanted to get this followed up and investigated - the interest in Cherie Blair's cellulite evaporated! Anyway, eventually the man was found and he protested that he did not know what all the fuss was about as he only swam past the Blair's boat and waved!

I had to laugh...
