The Times pours forth sympathy for Gordy B.:
GORDON BROWN’S carefully laid plans for a G20 deal on worldwide tax cuts have been scuppered by an eve-of-summit ambush by European leaders.The same pack of clowns running the show swear (on your next paycheck) that they know how to un-frobnicate the situation. Glad that Angel Merkel, unlike our POTUS, seems to have a pair. More leaders like her, or, even gutsier, Daniel Hannan, please. Daniel's brilliant Brown bludgeoning bears repeated view and study.
Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, last night led the assault on the prime minister’s "global new deal" for a $2 trillion-plus fiscal stimulus to end the recession.
Update: (via Drudge)
Brown's 1.4 trillion pound leak. I think, in British English, this is called "taking the piss".

ReplyDeleteHe seems to be recovering, though I only glanced briefly across his blog while subscribing.
Smitty,
ReplyDeleteWith the help of massive exposure to US (conservative) media, it appears that a rethink may be underway. His support for Sen. and Pres. Obama is long-standing, but we can hope...

ReplyDeleteOne can only hope that the CloudyTubes will prevent a second Dark Age. Possibly they can roll back the clock on European Liberal Fascism, which is, AFAICT, the revenge of Feudalism.
