Boris is supposedly the next First Lord of the Treasury (another title of the Prime Minister)…is this how he intends to act when dealing with the “Special Relationship”?

If so, perhaps his wealthy donors and Bullingdon Club buddies can explain what would happen if Uncle Sugar were to withdraw his patronage from the Court of St. James’s.

Probably figures that since he already has the hairstyle of a raging asshole, he might as well go the whole way and act like Trump too.

I guess I am not into idol worship (or worship of any kind), but I completely fail to understand the fuzz about Churchill’s bust.

A Churchill bust, a MJK bust or a stuffed platypus what difference does it make?

I think it would make a lot of difference to the platypus.

TPM:

Johnson had accused Obama Thursday of being hostile to British interests …

Like many British Conservatives, Johnson has a strong tendency to confuse UK interests and Tory interests.

Well, Boris Johnson – Bite Me! When you win election to the White House, you get to make these decisions. What’s that? – Oh, that’s right, you’re British and not an American! – So, again, Bite Me!

It’s not confusion. The Conservatives act like it’s their Divine Right to rule, and their every action is a Mandate.

Our Preisdent is too classy to say it, but I would have been awesome if the Preisdent had also slipped in something along the lines of what maxaroo posted in the other thread:

Perhaps the Mayor isn’t aware of this, but there is some historical precedent for Americans in general being opposed to British colonialism.

Well, what does MLK or a platypus have to do with the United Kingdom? And isn’t that the real point here?
