Administrative errors

This from Peter Hain, another lucky recipient of Abrahams's largesse back in June, on his regrettable failure to register the donation:

We wish to make clear that this was entirely an administrative error on the part of my campaign. I very much regret the donation was not registered as it should have been and I am taking immediate steps to do so.

I do hope 'adminstrative error' enters the language as code for 'deliberate cover up for as long as I think I can get away with it'.

It would be a worthy companion to 'Ugandan affairs' and 'tired and emotional'.

UPDATE:
My mistake. It wasn't Abrahams who gave the money to Hain, it was Mendelsohn, which in some ways is even more sinister.
