Mmm, Paxo, losing it

Jeremy Paxman must be reading too many hagiographies of himself in the wake of his announcement to retire from Newssnight.  Interviewing Lord (Nigel) Lawson, the crumpled and jowly former Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the last few minutes, regarding Pfizer's proposed takeover of AstraZeneca, Paxman issued the challenge that Michael Howard wanted more tighter safeguards than had already been offered.  Lawson countered, "Well, he may well want that," before Paxman stridently intervened, "No Michael Howard... David Cameron."  That famous interview in the late 1990s was referenced in every item about Paxman's late-night retirement and so every prominent Tory who comes under his gaze is now 'Michael Howard' (Lord Howard to be precise).  Goodness Paxo, you are demob happy!
