I am shocked to discover that the left wing hacks are taking this whole thing far more seriously than the Brits are. But they don't really give a damn what some yank says about their games. Any more than we would if the Brits said it about us. It's no big deal to anyone other then the hacks. And that is funny... you are hysterical in your new found left wing ranting.
I would say that when the guy who should be your closest idealogical ally in Europe is backhanding the city your whacky cult calls home, while you are trying to extract your foot from your mouth, that's fail on a pretty epic scale.
