Teflon Dave?

In the latest post on his excellent blog, Benedict Brogan characterises Cameron as “Teflon Dave” – the man to whom no slurs will stick.  Brogan’s claim relates to the media’s apparent reluctance to report an inconsistency in Cameron’s PMQs performance this week.  As Brogan writes:

“If IDS had been caught out like this, we would have had a field day. But Dave is on the up. He has the wind in his sails. He’s wearing Teflon. Just as no one is troubled by his odd refusal to give a straight answer on the smoking question, so this memory lapse/poor briefing episode (I’m sure it’s no more than that) is not finding a willing audience. The World Tonight might be having a go later, but what does Mr Brown do if the narrative about Mr Cameron no longer allows for bad news?”
