A salute to Gordon Smart, the writer of the Sun's Bizarre column, by Hugh Muir in today's Guardian diary. Gordon's funny, he's informative. He's also without fear.

This may have amused Rupert Murdoch, or KRM as the high-ups call him. Also James Murdoch, the heir apparent, whom the chosen at News International affectionately call JRM. One day they may refer to their young writer, a prodigious talent by all accounts, as GS. He'd be a muppet too, and proud of it.
