And where was the Chief Whip on Saturday night?

.... in the company of Ben Affleck, Colin Powell, Pamela Anderson, Henry Kissinger, Marcia Cross, Jenny McCarthy and other A-listers at the White House Correspondent's Dinner, the annual bash where the President and Washington press corps show Hollywood what self-congratulation is all about. Our man Geoff Hoon - and his special adviser - was representing HM Government.

According to one witness, they walked down the middle of the red carpet of the Washington Hilton, and about 200 teenage girls and boys behind police barriers started screaming. The informant claims Geoff thought this is for him and his special adviser, looks bemused and poses for the cameras. He fails to notice Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner right behind. Sadly the Hoon pictures haven't made the international wires...

Mr Hoon was due to be sitting at the same table as Ms Anderson, although this dream never ended up coming true. After his week, who can blame him for wanting to escape...

One way ticket for Hoon, U hope

Does this "special advisor" have a name? Or was it Mrs Hoon?

[David Amerland]

Can we coin a new term for social blunder? "What a Hoon".

Geoff Hoon - is that the same - that auditioned for Hammer Horrors, but alas failed the medical ?

In Australia, where I come from, a "Hoon" is a 'hooligan', or a "show-off of limited intelligence".
In this case, as by name, so by nature, I suppose.

I suppose the Special Adviser must have been - I can imagine him grinning at the camera....
