Eenie Meenie Miney Mo, time for Gordon Brown to go?

It seems that when politicians are ripe for criticism, they always seem to resort to visiting an elementary school or preschool. It's well known that George W. Bush was lambasted for not bolting out of a third-grade classroom in Florida when he first learned of the 9/11 attacks. I also recall a news clip Index photographers pinned to the wall in 2004 when Dennis Kucinich (according to the Post-Dispatch's headline) declared he was in it to win it to a group of listless fourth graders, including two in the front row who weren't granting him eye contact. And during the 2008 election, Tina Fey suggested (via her impersonation of Sarah Palin in the VP debate) joked that third-graders helped her prepare for that debate moderated by Queen Latifah (er, Gwen Ifill).

Today, Gordon Brown joins the ranks. Just as three of his ministers have announced their resignations, his chief lieutenant Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, too could be on his way out as a result of his potentially fraudulent claims on both his London flat and 11 Downing Street, four Labour MPs barred from running for the party again as a result of their expense claims (including three who have already announced they're leaving at term's end), more Labour MPs expressing serious doubts about the current party leadership, a brick wall dead ahead in the form of Thursday's local and European elections, and two nationalist parties, Wales' Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party, announced they will introduce a motion of no confidence before Parliament next week, (interesting quirk on that I'll expound on later this week, I should add) guess where the Prime Minister was, as filmed by the BBC?

Visiting a preschool.

Wonder if the kids helped him prepare for what will likely be another gruesome grilling by David Cameron & Nick Clegg tomorrow afternoon during the weekly session of Prime Minister's Questions.
