DAILY MAIL -LEADER   16.4.09
The apology Gordon SHOULD have written

With his apology for an apology to Tory MP Nadine Dorries, Gordon 
Brown has proved letter-writing is not his forte.

To help our beleaguered Prime Minister, therefore, the Mail suggests 
this is what he should have written to her after his special adviser 
plotted to spread fabrications about her sex life over the internet:

Dear Mrs Dorries, I want you to know how very sorry and ashamed I am 
that Damian McBride, a man I trusted for too many years, has behaved 
so contemptibly towards you.
I understand how distressed you and your family must be and I 
apologise unreservedly for the hurt and embarrassment his malicious 
lies have caused you.
I need hardly add that, though I accept responsibility for the 
behaviour of my appointees, I knew nothing of McBride's poisonous 
emails or his betrayal of my trust.
I shall leave no stone unturned, however, until I discover who did.
There can be no place in politics - and still less on the public 
payroll - for anyone who practises or tolerates obnoxious and 
underhand tactics of this kind.
I firmly believe I can win the next election on the issues. But if 
not, I'd rather lose it than depend on practices like McBride's.
On behalf of us all in the Labour Party, I ask you to accept my 
humblest apologies.
Yours sincerely, Gordon Brown

There. Would that really have been so hard to write?

And wouldn't it have earned Mr Brown a great deal more public respect 
than his stiff, impersonal (and only semi-legible) expression of 
'great regret', which never quite amounted to a 'sorry'?
=======================
THE SUN SAYS 16.4.09
Email cover-up
THE stink of a cover-up hangs over Downing Street.

Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell rules out an inquiry into whether 
minister Tom Watson knew about the "Smeargate" emails. He says he is 
happy to accept the minister's denials, and the case is closed.

That might be good enough for Sir Gus. It isn't for The Sun. How can 
we know the full facts without an investigation, which means 
examining ALL emails involved?   After all, Labour allow everybody 
else's emails to be snooped on.

Tom Watson was at the heart of Gordon Brown's operations.  He was in 
charge of Damian McBride, the Downing Street public servant who 
planned to smear Tories with obscene lies.  Mr Brown's mealy-mouthed 
"regrets" are no apology at all. Now we learn it is all to be swept 
under the carpet.

And Mr Brown wonders why faith in Labour is draining away.
=======================
AND a Postscript from the EXPRESS
GORDON Brown has today finally apologised for the Smeargate scandal - 
five days after the horrific blunder.

The Prime Minister made a half-hearted apology for the controversial 
emails sent by his aide Damian McBride.

Speaking during a visit to Glasgow, he merely said: "I am sorry about 
what happened."

But Brown again refused to personally take responsibility for the 
scandal and did not discuss how else he plans to make amends.
