Recently, John Prescott, U.K.  Labour Party Deputy PM, described our beloved American President as "crap", and a "cowboy with his Stetson on".

Bear in mind that world leaders don't do this.  The "dear leader" of North Korea may be an exception to this rule, it is true, but that only means that he and Bush are the only world leaders exempted from the usual rules of politesse.  I hasten to add that the "dear leader" has the world's largest collection of Daffy Duck memorabilia, and is easily the worst thing to happen to Korea since Japan.

Now, personally, I have a certain nostalgaic fondness for Stetsons, and even for the proper sort of cowboy.  But, really, I am gratified to hear a plain acknowledgement by a man of distinction that the (ahem) "leader of the free world" is a raving nutcase.  How many times have you heard your American friends, in despair, swear that if this goes on, they will move to Canada?  Did this happen very much under the Kennedy administration, do you suppose?  Shit, it didn't happen under the Ford administration!  We are a global laughing-stock.  Where's Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him?
