From Stalin to Mr Bean

Lib-Dem Vince Cable hit the headlines yesterday and today. No it wasn't for something particularly good he did, or bad, he just got in the funniest and most memorable comment in the parliamentary questions time yesterday.

As the Sun reported today in its top news story: “From Stalin to Mr Bean.” Gordon Brown grinned, but this jibe from Lib-Dem Vince Cable must have hurt. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/sun_says/article244723.ece

Cable's opportunist jibe had all the ingredients to propel himself onto the news, and give himself some good publicity: comedy, history and cultural relevance.

Let's hope Mr Bean turns into a Mr Churchill soon!
