Gordon Brown a laughing stock

I blogged last November first that "Bad news Gordon but tonight when Graham Norton made a joke about you and the audience laughed approvingly it struck me - you are now officially a figure of fun!

The joke was about a picture of you and your wife looking glum at the Queen and Prince Phillip's 60th anniversary service.

"What happened to him?

Did he get his dream job and discover he's shit at it""

and second that "Today Vincent Cable compared Gordon Brown to Mr Bean, bringing chaos out or order - much of the laughter was staged by Lib Dems and quick reacting Conservatives, but the quip hit home and is a great soundbite.

Like John Major in 1995, Gordon Brown is now a figure of fun. Gordon Brown has lost the respect of the country and his party will soon start to look around for a replacement.

Poor Gordon, he wanted to be Prime Minister for so so long but I don't think he envisaged it would be like this. If I didn't detest the man so much, I might even feel a touch sorry for him."


It seems as though this meme is catching on, last night's dinner party had people openly mocking his facial expressions and drooling over Carla Bruni and the blogosphere is full of people mocking Gordon Brown. There is more in the Sunday Times entitled "‘Blobby’ Gordon Brown gets gaffe aide". Gordon Brown will be puce rather than orange as he reads in "The Sunday papers" that "ON the day Gordon Brown turned orange it emerged that he has hired a former BBC producer to put an end to the visual gaffes that have dogged his time as prime minister. Nicola Burdett, 35, has been told to stop the embarrassing photographs and television foot-age that risk turning Brown into a figure of fun. The appointment has not come a moment too soon. Yesterday the prime minister was pictured at a summit of world leaders in Hertfordshire with a bright orange blob of make-up on his forehead."


The man is a joke, I wonder how Spitting Image/Headcases will choose to portray him tonight?
