so they should all resign.)

One of Gordon Brown's senior officials has resigned after sending e-
mails which reportedly discussed smearing senior Conservatives.
Damian McBride, the prime minister's former political press officer, had
apologised after the messages found their way to a Westminster blogger.
Paul Staines, writer of the Guido Fawkes blog, described the messages
sent by Mr McBride as "obscene".
A Number 10 spokesman said the messages were "juvenile and
inappropriate"
The e-mails are said to have included allegations about Conservative
leader David Cameron and shadow chancellor George Osborne.
A Downing Street spokesman said it was Mr Brown's view that there was
"no place in politics for the dissemination or publication of material
of this kind".
The Tories said it was absurd that advisers were "plotting smear
campaigns rather than focusing on how to help people affected by the
downturn".
The e-mails were originally sent to former government spin doctor Derek
Draper, who runs a pro-Labour blog, before they came to the attention of
Mr Staines.
Mr Draper branded the idea of an orchestrated Downing Street campaign as
"ridiculous"
