"Alex Salmond could never solve the sorts of challenges that Gordon could, yet he can knock spots off him when playing to the gallery.

When exactly did Gordon ever solve any challenges? He's run the country, the economy, the education system, the health service and the armed forces into the ground and participated in all of Blair's policies (the same policies that wrecked the constitution, alienated the electorate and defecated all over Britain's international reputation).
Still, if the great challenge was how to wreck the UK, I suppose Brown delivered.
salmond is exactly the same as blair.blair lite.
great communicator,but an ineffectual spiv.
he will get found out.

I really think the journalist saw the original comment as a compliment, which tells us a lot about the value system of modern politics.
