John Cresspot

From Thikipedia

John Cresspot (born May 31, 1938) was a member of the British cabinet from 1997 to 2007 and a member of the Munch Bunch from 1979 to 1984.

Cresspot is well known for his poor speaking skills and frequent gaffes. To many he is still remembered for punching a farmer whilst on the 2001 general election campaign after being hit by an egg. Amid the furore the subtle irony of the message was lost: that Cresspot would be more effective serving as the filling in an egg and cress sandwich than as Deputy Prime Minister.

In various sections of the media, he is known as "Crezza", or sometimes "Two Jags", a reference to his love of big cars. In 1999, an official chauffeured car was used to transport Cresspot and his wife Rosemary 200 yards from their hotel to the venue of the Labour Party Conference, where Cresspot gave a speech on how to encourage people to use public transport. Giving the reasons for this Cresspot stated: "Because of the security reasons for one thing and second, my wife doesn't like to have her cress blown about. Have you got another silly question?"

In Latin America, John Cresspot is sometimes referred to as Hernan Crespo.
