Not Flash...just Gordon

In PMQs today, Brown boasted that the Government had saved the world.

One word in response. Pleeease!


UPDATE 11 Dec 2008: Politicians don't live in comic books. They aren't super heroes. Ann Treneman writing in The Times noted that "Gordon Brown, master of immodesty, has revealed what he thinks about himself".

The "save the world" comment may have been a slip of the tongue but Labour MPs should know better when their defence of the PM reduces the level of parliamentary debate to this (taken from the BBC website):

"Commons leader Harriet Harman responded to Tory MPs in the Commons she would 'rather have Superman as our leader than their leader who is The Joker'. Labour MP Anne Moffat immediately intervened to say 'Wonder Woman does it again'."

In the words of The Telegraph's David Hughes, what are these people on?
