Oh dear Gordon and it was all going so well. The problem is that you were lulled in to a false sense of your self worth. Now you have learned the lessons of life the hard way.
Its a very different situation to be the Big Boss of the Treasury where your bombastic, and often very cruel, bullying was unchallenged because to do so was the end of some civil servants career. On the other hand Tony whats'is name couldn't reveal the true extent of your nasty nature because it would have damaged his position.
It fell to Alastair Campbell to correctly observe that Brown was " psychologically flawed" Well, either by chance or design Cameron has ripped off the covers and the media and the electorate are now having a "the emporer has no clothes" feast.
It was bound to happen, but I am surprised the melt down happened quite so quickly.
So where to from here for Gordon, I fear its nowhere, the image carefully created over years and years is now for ever shattered.
Gordon is now revealed as an empty vessel that has stolen most of the wealth of the productive sector of the economy and wasted it on the unproductive sector.
billions pissed straight down the drain - for nothing
Here's a couple of little revelations - I had always thought that reports of teachers being required to teach children that the words to Baa Baa Black Sheep were really Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep was just an urban myth created by The Daily Mail or The Sun, but this morning I was talking to a young lady who is at college to learn Childcare and yes she really is required by the Education Authority to sing Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep - you really couldn't make it up.
You may have read in the media that Bliar and Cherie are about to pay out £3,000,000 for a country pad called Winslow Hall- interesting demonstration of Socialist values - but hey ho - one of the attractions apparently is that it has its own Catholic Chapel in the grounds.
What is not widely reported, if its reported at all, is that among the congregation of that chapel is one Ian Duncan Smith, discussions about The Broken Society over the communion wine perhaps - life is always far stranger than fiction
