All his life Marlon Brando had a certain charisma; possibly never more so than when he was younger and playing rugged rebels. So possibly a few eyebrows were raised two weeks ago when none other than John Prescott said that Brando should play him in his life movie, and not just because most people pick people still alive.

To many people Prescott doesn't quite have the same charm as Brando. Which is to say that he has next to none. Except not everyone would agree, for today the country is shocked to discover a politician has not only has sex that hasn't resulted in children but that he's done it with someone other than his wife! Expect The Prescott Affair to get much airplay for weeks to come.

However, of all the details being exposed in this drama one stuck out the most. In their exposé of the affair the Mirror reports:

One woman colleague said she had seen Tracey nuzzle Mr Prescott's neck in the lift. She said she thought it was "inappropriate".

Inappropriate? I say impressive, or maybe even daring. The man's chin droops down to his shoes! By the time you'd found his neck you'd be running low on oxygen, and still she stuck around to nuzzle it?
