I agree whole heartedly about Saruman, it always seemed to me that he was a stoog made to feel like a big man because he had the backing of some more powerful than himself. A bit like Lotho back in the Shire.

Just because Saurman was the head of the White Council did not make him the more powerful, as it was Gandalf that a few of the others wanted (Galadriel for certain) as the head. But i think he refused as he didn't want to be cooped up so that he couldn't go around the place meddling in the affairs of the Dark Lord
