Brown berated as Al finds his voice...

does inflation trouble you...only after mealtimes!

In The Daily Mail today, normally timid Southampton MP Alan Whitehead is quoted comparing Mr Brown to US President William Taft, who was in the White House from 1909 to 1913 and is remembered mainly for his corpulent frame. ‘Taft could never have been President in today’s politics because he was fat,’ said Mr Whitehead. 'Gordon is not fat but he has the same problem. He just doesn’t have the “phwoarr” factor.’

I would argue that if William Taft is remembered for anything, it is that he remains the only U.S. President to finish third in a bid for reelection to a second consecutive term...
