Gerry Adams and his friend Charles Kennedy

Honestly, I swear they're buddies. I found Ming Campbell's MySpace site, and Charles Kennedy is one of his friends, and according to Charles' MySpace, Gerry Adams is his friend. Meanwhile, John McDonnell lists Gordon Brown as his friend.

To be honest though I'm not sure whether it's sadder that someone has spent the time setting all these up, or that so many people leave comments on them seemingly in the belief that they are genuine. My personal favourite is on the Ming page which says,

I fully understand why people drop letter to do SMS on phones, but is it really necessary when you have entire keyboard in front you?
