Politicians Making Fools of Themselves: Nadine Dorries

I'm not a big fan of Conservative politician Nadine Dorries for many reasons that I'll come on to in a future post.

But this really does it for me.

This is her posing for a publicity shot for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

Ms Dorries has decided to "take a break" from her role as an MP for a month to take part in the reality TV program.  This woman, who stood for PUBLIC OFFICE, is taking a break.  To appear on TV.  In one of the trashiest reality programs going. 

And she did it without permission from her party!

This last bit has resulted in her suspension by the Chief Whip.

The official reason she has given is because if 16m people watch the program, this is were MP's should be.  Others are (understandably) more cyncial.  Former Conservative MP Louise Mensch has suggested that it is to promote her anti-abortion agenda while rumour has it many MP's in her area feel it's just to promote herself.

Whatever the reason, I'm looking forward to the entertainment of Nadine Dorries having to eat crocodile testicles!
