Worth noting, in a depressing kind of way

Gordon Brown is a busted flush – and he's taking us down with him

Not much more to add. How can we be in 2009 and still have a system that allows such a failing leader endure?

It doesn't matter if it was/is his fault. He is like Captain Queeg in charge of the Titanic, looking for the next iceberg to hit, yet still is till 'doing his job'.
