He's got class!
 
Too bad it’s all low!

I'm really surprised I would have figured something like a "pimp cup" for the Prime Minister Gordon Brown or maybe a set of "grills" for his family would have been more personal and thoughtful; but hey, it's obviously a more "off the rack" vibe at the White House these days. Obviously, no one at 10 Downing Street got the memo!

Question for the Koolaid Kavalry! How did those wiley Wepublicans orchestrate this attack on all that is good?

What? They are classic American films, owned by a Japanese studio and pressed in China. What's not to love? It's globalization in action:rolleyes:

This is for the KoolAid Brigade... Bush Gave Gordon Brown a LEATHER JACKET TRIMMED WITH FUR! How could he have killed animals just for a gift:eek::eek:
PETA should sue him

Too bad it was leather from Osama's hide.

Billions for idiots, and a couple hundred bucks for one of our greatest allies head of state. :confused: Might as well have given him a shirt and said "this shirt will look great on you ... it'll hide your fat stomach." Might have needed a teleprompter for that line.

I'm sure a $10million gift would've gone over real well with you.

Why do you say that? Because you feel good lumping me in a place you put all those you view as anti -BHO?
A gift befitting the stature of the guest- like what BHO received would have been appropo.

I guess Nixon wasn't so bad after all; He once gave Brezhnev a Lincoln Continental and a Cadillac Eldorado.

Chris Bell 03-07-2009 08:13 PM

To add insult to injury...Is'nt Gordon Brown blind in on eye and seriously impaired in the other?

He could have at least dropped $10k-$20k on a nice watch, come on.

We give billions to these piss ant little **** holes around the world, and we can't even give the leader of our closest ally a decent gift?

Sorry, I must've misinterpreted 'billions for idiots' and 'might have needed a teleprompter'.


These guys are leaders of countries. Their gifts are like the dumb bets governors or mayors make on the Super Bowl. I don't care what they give each other as long as it's not ridiculously expensive.

t walgamuth 03-08-2009 07:45 AM

What do you get someone who has whatever they want already?

I am pretty hard to buy for and I am seriously behind those fellows!

I am sure anything thats not insulting is well received.

I'll speak s l o w l y for you from now on then in this new light.

I think it's a great gift: those are some of Americans best movies ever.

mwood 03-08-2009 09:07 PM

I think a Cadillac like Elvis gave away would have been cool!
