Winston Churchill & lady Asquith, both times I think.

Sir, you are drunk,
Madam, you are ugly, but I will be sober in the morning

And

Sir, if you were my husband I would give you poison,
Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it!

I like the exchange between the Duke of Wellington and Benjamin Disraeli.

Duke :- "You sir, will die of the hangman's noose or the pox."

Disraeli :- "That, Sir, will depend upon whether I embrace your principles or your mistress."
