Dengl 5 Oct 31 Word Quirks in Politics

I imagine it will not have escaped the notice of some LibDems - let alone others - whose heartbeats - or hearts beat - or beet? close to the centre of Europe that one leadership contender is Mr Huhne.
No doubt an excellent man, but if he ever gets in a flap, or gets cooped up in some political corner, let alone falls off his perch, it will be realised that his name - notwithstanding the final e - means chicken in German - will LibDemChickens come home to roost?

I wonder what the comedians and cartoonists will make of this.... the mischievous part of me looks forward to finding out ...

on a more serious note, the quirks of language can be killers -
a British comedienne (should I have to say comedian - I am not sure which she would prefer) has invented - a prizewinning - character called Cockface (try the link) - maybe she will run with this one ...
