Dick Armey in accepting $8 million to resign from the organisation he was going to leave because he was concerned about its direction reminded me of one of the funniest lines from British comedy. In a skit Peter Cooke acting as a billionaire had hired Dudley Moore as a piano teacher in the hope of learning to play Beethoven's Fifth symphony by the following week so that he and his orchestra could play it at his wife's birthday party. Moore complained that he had too much integrity to attempt such a task. Cooke answered by saying "I admire integrity and I am prepared to pay for it" Well done Dick $8 million buys quite a lot of integrity.
