COMMENTS: Few Will Deny a Well-Maintained Moat
The British political scandal of Members of Parliament abusing their right to claim expenses for two homes--one in London near the House of Commons, a second in their constituency--is too delicious to ignore. Stopwatch in hand, CBS' Mark Phillips had fun Tuesday, when he demonstrated the distance between one MP's two residences: at a steady walking pace, his commute lasted four minutes and 33 seconds. Now NBC's Stephanie Gosk positions herself outside the Tower of London to report on another MP who claimed country estate expenses for a housekeeper, a piano tuner and moat clearing. Deadpanned Gosk: "Few will deny that a well-maintained most is good protection."
