Most Boring of 2007.

Mr Smith notes that in the current edition of the McLaughlin Group which presented the programme's traditional "awards" for 2007, that former US Presidential candidate and Nixon political adviser Pat Buchanan nominated British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for the accolade of "most boring" of 2007.

Mr Smith finds it hard to disagree. After ten years of a build up, PM Brown has proven to be something of a disappointment. Here's hoping he has a better 2008 ... for everyone's sakes.
