The drunk-ugly joke is a fake and an insult. Churchill was a gentleman. Lady Astor may not have been a lady, but he would never have insulted a woman by calling her ugly. He loved his nanny more than anyone on earth. The grandson of a duke (of Marlborough) and intensely proud of it (read his magnificent biography of John Churchill First Duke of Marlborough for a really long treat) he made himself rich and famous by using every trick and connection to get himself into battle andthen write about it. He was a very highly paid combat correspondent, and used his escape from Boer Prison as a springboard to Parliament where his maiden speech was dedicated to the memory of his father Lord Randolph Churchill. (read My Early Years) -- basis of the movie Young Churchill. The greatest Englishman of the age.
