The Milipede's judgement

Is it just me that finds the Mighty Milipede completely unbelievable?

On Thursday, his shadow Chancellor resigned from the shadow cabinet. Whilst undoubtedly a likeable fellow - well, for a politician anyway - he was certainly behind the door when God gave out the economics degrees. Luckily for the Milipede, Alan Johnson gave him the perfect 'personal reasons' excuse to give him the chop.

Then he replaces him with a Brown clone. This is apparently good judgement.

On Friday, here is the Milipede again. This time he is crowing at the resignation of Andy Coulson, Cameron's communications director. This is because of the phone hacking row at the News of the Screws. Apparently, allowing him to stay on calls Dave's judgement into question.

So let's understand this clearly. When the Milipede appoints the wrong man, this is good judgement but when Cameron allows a man to stay on - innocent until proven guilty - this is bad judgement?

To my way of thinking, this is double standards by any stretch of the imagination...
