A Love Affair Across the Pond

By pm317 on April 3, 2009 at 8:25 AM in Current Affairs, G20, PM Gordon Brown, President Barack Obama

Yes, this is not new. It used to be Tony Blair and George Bush and now it is, Gordon Brown and Barack Obama. The perfect pair of a lapdog and its master.

Here are some fun excerpts and pictures that prove my point, all from an article in the Daily Mail:

Gordon fawns over Obama

Oh Gordon, your smile! The Prime Minister, appearing alongside Barack Obama after breakfast today, stared at his American visitor and almost shattered the TV camera lenses with his moony grin.

You could have played Jewish harp with his lower lip, it was stretched so twangy tight.

Messrs Mills and Boon, when next looking for a book cover for one of their romantic novellas, when next seeking an illustration of doggy devotion, could do worse than use a photograph of the Prime Minister at the meeting.

Mills and Boon !!? I have not heard those names in 25 years. Are they still around?

What about this picture of Gordon’s moony grin?

and this one?

Mr Brown had by now turned his profile to us and it meant we could see the silhouette of his pouchy-cheeked, greedy grin.

His lips puckered, forming the shape of a robin’s beak, and he nodded slowly, repeatedly, at times even swallowing, so much was he salivating.

When he turned back to face us his eyes were narrow with creamy pleasure and he pushed forth his chin, stretching his lower neck.

Now he placed his hands behind his back and bounced a half inch or so on the balls of his feet, relishing the sound of Solomon Obama’s replies to a few questions from the Press.

Those replies were, as I say, on the chewy side and came out at the speed of an action replay on Match of the Day.

And finally, this one.

oh, the power play

Could someone photoshop this picture above to put Gordon’s arm around Obama’s waist, please?

But all is not lost for Gordon. The article concludes with this:

Our old donkey Gordon, by comparison to this American visitor, was for once Mr Eloquent, Mr Quick-Off-The-Mark.

Mr Obama had managed to make Mr Brown look good. Another amazing achievement.

There you have it. Read all of Quentin Letts hilarious but true article here. Letts makes Mills and Boon proud (not that I read any of them but just have a feeling).
