On the Right and Left, the saga of Gordon Brown's Washington visit continues to run and run here in the US. Fox News's Glenn Beck has just upped the ante by displaying the address of the British Embassy on screen and urging his 2.2 million viewers to write to tell the British people: "They don't suck. We appreciate them." Or something like that.
At the liberal end of the spectrum, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show is joining in the mirth. Like Beck, he gets much mileage out of the Obama present of a box set of DVDs, in return for Brown's HMS Gannett pen holder, HMS Resolute commissioning certificate and seven-volume first edition biography of Churchill.
Beck solemnly calls Brown's offerings "unique and priceless historical gifts". Stewart describes them with mock reverence as "thoughtful, unique, entrenched with layers of deep meaning that connect Barack Obama's ancestral past to the lineage of the presidency interwoven with the centuries-old special relationship between the United States and Britain - it is a gift wrapped inside a present stuffed inside a thoughtful gesture".
Here's Beck, who interviews the Heritage Foundation's Nile Gardiner. The Embassy address comes at the end of the clip: (clip found at link)
And here's Stewart, who also has a great riff on how Brown shamelessly appropriated Obama's language, laughing at the Prime Minister for trying to "horn in on Obama's mojo" and acting like a "Barack Obama cover band - Gordon Hopeful and the Yes We Can Five": (clip found at link)

“Father’s grandfather” should be “grandfather.”
Her Majesty will present Mr. Obama with his Kenyan birth certificate from Mombassa hospital that shows all the facts of his birth and, most importantly, that Barack Hussein Obama Seotero is not a native born American citizen, but a Subject of the Crown by way of his Kenyan father's British Colonial citizenship. Her Majesty will then give the usurper his orders and he will comply or be exposed as the fraud he certainly is.
Then she will hand him 25 videos and tell him to return them to Blockbuster before he has to pay a fine.
I don’t believe that the American people need to apologize for Obama’s actions. But it is characteristic of the warm good nature of the American people that a lot of them have done so anyway, and in writing.
There are a lot of sourpusses on this thread who seem to be trying to wrest a diplomatic defeat from the kind and courteous actions of their own countrymen. Not going to work: Britain and America’s friendship, nay kinship, will survive Obama. And it will survive you guys too :0)

No, and would the venerable old Kenyan still be alive today living in squalor and poverty you can bet “His Specialness” would not be doing any more for him than his other poverty stricken family.
