Wingnut meme of the week(end): Obama snubs Britain, our whitest and therefore most important ally! LGF announced "Obama Botches Meeting with British PM" while Frank Gaffney furiously wanked away with "Farewell to Britain," to cite just two examples.
My, after seeing those alarmist headlines I could not imagine what Obama had done. Did he refuse to meet with the Rt. Hon. Mr. Brown? Sever formal diplomatic ties with the UK? Convert the US Embassy in London into one of those half-KFC, half-Taco Bell monstrosities? Offer PM Brown $40 in lotto tickets for an hour with his wife? Press his nuts against a scale model of Westminster Abbey whilst shouting "SUCK THIS, QUEEN ELIZABETH"?
Turns out that reality is a little more prosaic. Obviously not the finest moment in the history of diplomacy, but not quite the War of 1812.
