Huhne and his ex get 8 months each - twitter shows no sympathy

If he was not such a sanctimonious git who has been wrong on every issue of the past 15 years and if his wife was not such a revolting piece of work you might feel a shred of sympathy for Chris Huhne and Vicky Pryce as they each prepare for an eight month stretch. As it happens, like 99% of the population I delight in the downfall of this ghastly couple who typify all that is so revolting about the political class. And it seems that twitter agrees...

@sixthformpoet
I wonder if Chris Huhne and Vicky Pryce are one of those annoying couples who finish each other's sentences.

@GuidoFawkes
Cruel and inhumane >> @nedsimons: Lembit Opik telling BBC News he will happily visit Chris Huhne in jail.

@doctorcfd
One last thought about #Huhne - when Clegg was elected over him, was the party merely picking the lesser of two weasels?

@EUMegaraid
#Huhne and #Pryce symptomatic of endemic political criminality Let's just turn Parliament into a Category A jail and be done with it

@Kwaitie
No Nick Clegg, a personal family tragedy is your child being hit by a speeding motorist & nearest A&E is miles away due to NHS cuts #Huhne

@DommieWobble
bet chris #huhne thought his ex's had stayed this way ....fun boy 3 - our lips are sealed http://youtu.be/IYS5tPou2s0

Breaking news: #Huhne tries to make Vicky Pryce take his 8 months for him

@DCamoron
#Huhne learned the hard way not to give penalty points to your wife! I'm not that stupid, I make sure #Clegg takes mine!

@AndreTheViking
Breaking News: #huhne to appeal sentence. Requests that his wife picks up the soap in the showers for him.

@fnordleblanket
Sentenced to 8 months isn't so bad. It's been ten years since #Pryce and #Huhne have gone down together.

@Brendan_Surrey
The ultimate punishment would be to be denied PR. To have to beg for a slave labour job at a Job Centre just like the rest of us. #huhne

@MrsStuffandGuff
@Scarletstand Thank god one of them didn't pen a facebook status vaguely threatening something vague, or they would've got longer. #huhne
