Brass Neck

He's a bit of a card, that Pope Benedict, isn't he?

The guys at the Guardian, after sticking their own necks out yesterday with a front page lead based on the premise that Hillary Clinton had lost the primary, have also made a strong showing in the copper-bottomed chutzpah stakes.

Today's Leader begins: "After the Iowa caucuses we warned readers not to leap to conclusions about the outcome of the US presidential nomination races."

So that would be the warning that said 'Clinton moves to plan B...........Strategists may be sacked..........Focus now on winning big states.'

Sorry, Mr Rusbridger. It was clearly all our fault.
