"Great Britain is one of our closest and strongest allies"

I could have died of shame when the last loser responded to "Yo, Blair!".

Now I wish I had.

Not that it would be any different for DC.

I could write your posts for you if you like...

If you were Obama, why would you spend time with the arse-licking and self-seeking PM of a smallish, steeply declining and nearly bankrupt country across the pond?
He probably knows that Brownetulipe is unpopular and on his way out and realises that the sole purpose of the visit is so that the BogieMuncher can get a little of the "Obama shine" on himself and look like a world statesman.

God I want to punch his wobbly, jowly face really hard - Gobtulipe Broon that is.

Thinking about it I guess the "special relationship", such as it was, is over under the Obama administration. He correctly, I think, realises that Germany is the most powerful country in Europe and the UK is a has-been that is now too weak to be any use whatsoever.

C4 news noted last night that Obama had removed the Churchill bust from the oval room.

It's funny how roles have reversed. Blair if anything looked more of a statesman than Bush ever did, more articulate, more assured, more intelligent.

Brown makes anyone look good.

Check this out from the times - quite a good piece - the wheels seem to be falling off royally if cabinet ministers are talking to the press like this:

Gordon doesn't start from a position of conviction, he just wants to create dividing lines with the Conservatives.

That quote sums him up entirely - All he does is politics, as in "politicking".

Even HMQ was reported to have said to him at a dinner "You do talk a lot about politics, Mr Brown".

Bliar always gave me the creeps. Slimey grinning shyster.

Brown just comes across as an idiot with no personality.

That's not saying much though, is it?

He had white stains under his armpits on his jackets. We had a lecturer at college like that - he didn't shower either.

I shall never forget the picture of Blair running up the steps to meet President Chirac. Chirac was cool, confident, suave and look fantastic - all the world like a global player. Blair was sweating, cheap jacket flapping, trousers too short and his short hanging out. What a tosser. An embarrassment. Any respectable mother would not let him out of the door the way he looks - she would at least brush his hair. But then, that harridan he is married to is no oil painting either.
