take THAT, Mister Blair

[waider]

Tonight on Newsnight:

"and finally this evening, the worst-kept secret in the cabinet is revealed: The Prime Minister, Mr. Blair, is on holidays... in Barbados. Downing Street's press office asked the press not to report this until Mr. Blair revealed it himself by placing a wreath at the Cenotaph in [wherever]."

and so on.

And then, the picture cuts to a weather schematic for Barbados, and the news anchor says, with some relish,

"and the weather in Barbados: [pause] rain. [pause] All week."

Cue guffawing waider.
