Campbell resignation prompts media frenzy and a welcome excuse to recycle old JT gag.
As the political world reeled this week at the news of Alastair Campbell’s resignation as chief Blair spin doctor, the editor of the JT welcomed the shock news. "It's not often that we here at The JT have a plausible excuse for brazenly re-cycling crusty old gags, but thankfully Campbell’s resignation has afforded us a scintilla of justification."

Pausing only to cough, the editor of the JT blew the dust of an archived gag and stuck it in the newest edition of the JT saying : "Should we read Campbell’s memoirs when they first come out or wait for the condensed version? Campbell, you see. Like the soup, condensed, Oh please yourselves"

Alastair Campbell in doppelganger shock: I didn't say the Scottish Press were a bunch of bastards claims Blair aide.
