The Art of Political Crossdressing: Your Nominations Please...

Today David Cameron is interviewed in the New Statesman and Jack Straw is interviewed in The Spectator. We continue to live in a parallel universe. This set me thinking about unlikely political interviews...

Chris Byrant in Country Life
John Hayes in Gay Times
John Prescott in the Almanac de Gotha
Peter Mandelson in My Caravan & Me
Ming Campbell in Club 18-30 News

And now, dear reader, it's down to you to come up with more... I have every faith...Gulp...

UPDATE: The best suggestion so far comes from phonce cam foolery who rather unkindly suggests Margaret Beckett for an interview in Horse & Hound as she fits into both catagories...

    Jeremy Clarkson in The Ecologist

    Zac Goldsmith in Top Gear

    George W Bush in The Times Literary Supplement

    Prince Charles in New Scientist

    David Blunkett/Charles Clarke in The Liberal

    Cherie Blair in Playboy. (Hang on, strike that. Given enough money, that woman will do anything...)

    Btw Media Scum, Claire Short has appeared in Zoo. Glamour model Becky Rule changed her name to Claire Short for a while after Ms Short (the politician) called for page 3 to be banned. That I remembered is very sad, I know.

    Chris Bryant in Country Life would be quite fitting with a slight spelling adjustment
