Gordon Brown on some GMTV presenter who has just quit:

"Congratulations on the support that you've won throughout the country."

Too many comments, too little time. All I will say is that Brown manages to come across as mealy mouthed and anal even when offering congratulations to someone who hopefully does not give the first fuck for him or his opinions. I really do wonder why that man bothers.

I'd love for Brown to send me a letter of congratulations - if only so I could defecate in the envelope and mark it "return to sender."
