And these people looked down their noses at George W. Bush's intelligence?

Tim Walker at the Telegraph says that "Gordon Brown is frustrated by 'Psycho' in No. 10." This is supposed to be the greatest intellects in the country who are going to smooth things over with our allies after that idiot George W. Bush fouled things up. Really?

PM Brown gave President Obama an extremely thoughtful gift when he was at the White House, a pen holder carved from the wood of an anti-slavery ship. The ship was a sister ship of the one from which the desk in the Oval Office was constructed. Great thought and consideration went into the selection of a gift from the people of Great Britain to the people of the United States of America, countries that have had a special relationship for decades.

One would expect that Obama's gift in return would show the same thoughtfulness and consideration. It appears that Obama sent an aide out at the last minute to find 25 videos of famous American movies. What a shocking insult to one of our most important allies.

Walker reports that when the PM tried to play a movie, it merely showed "wrong region" on the screen. Obama couldn't even be bothered to find videos that would work in Britain. Either that or he and his people are so clueless that they had no idea that such differences existed.

To add to the incredible embarrassment of the affair, Walker contacted a White House spokesman who "sniggered when I put the story to him and he was still looking into the matter when my deadline came last night." He "sniggered" at the story? Are these people intentionally trying to destroy American relations with Britain?
