And to think what Bill Clinton did with his cigar - and he wasn't fired. Perhaps, by tomorrow, it will turn out to someone else who walked into the Eli with a lit cigar, and I was only the runner-up.
What a farce. Meanwhile in the real world Sky News yesterday leaked the green paper on welfare reform which is due out on Monday.It's worth a read. Looks as if it was probaly leaked to the Tories by asympathetic civil servant. All the boys on incapacity in Merthyr better get their working boots out of the cupboard. It looks as if the 20 year holiday on the taxpayer is just about to come to an end.
It must be admitted that Rhodri Glyn Thomas is accident-prone and suffers from short-comings. To be honest about it we all do, yet Rhodri is, or was, in a position of trust and responsibility. He was the Heritage Minister and as such he must maintain high standards of behaviour and integrity and not trangress the limits of public accountability and respect. He must take great care in avoiding making unnecessary "gaffes" which inevitably are blown up by the media and circulated throughout the nation and beyond.
It is indeed unfortunate that he has been persuaded, or has felt the need, to resign as Heritage Minister, but Wales needs a person who is no less committed to the promotion of Welsh language and culture, who is no less colourful and dedicated, but who is aware of the high profile position which the job entails and who is able to bring steady resolve and undying purpose to the role of Heritage Minister without creating an personal aura and without stumbling from one embarrassing incident into another. Let us hope that another appointee exhibits the qualities which are a sine qua non for such a crucial and fundamental position in Welsh national affairs.

I wonder where he keeps his cigars?
