WASHINGTON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown held talks with U.S. presidential candidates on Thursday before seeing President George W. Bush, a stark reminder that world leaders are now looking to his successor.

Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Republican John McCain came off the campaign trail to talk with Brown, who praised them afterwards for their commitment to a strong bond between the United States and Britain.

1. I doubt it hurts Bush much.

That clown's just as interested in running down the clock without doing much as everyone else is, I think, and is counting down the days until he can put his stank-ass feet up at his stupid ranch. He's probably got one of those Bush countdown clocks too.

Sometimes I wish he was running again so he could get so embarassingly clobbered he'd never be able to show his face again.

2. But Brown's at the beginning of his term; RatBastard is a lame duck

I was SO tired of Tony Blair and glad to see that poodle set aside
and had high hopes for Gordon Brown (probably along with the Brits)
but he's disappointed a lot of people.
