What I love about Rudd and Scullion is the way they haven't tried to sleaze their way out of it. Rudd basically said he was too drunk to remember what had happened, and Scullion said, "It was a terrific night. If you ever get an offer to go drinking with Icelandic whalers and Canadian crab fishermen, take them up on it."
Very hard to imagine, say, Jack Straw or Gordon Brown being that honest.
