"What fur-trimmed gift did Gordon Brown receive from Bush?"
Edited on Thu Aug-02-07 03:26 PM by ceile
On the lighter side, but still embarrassing (and well, insulting to vets, I would think):

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6243803.stm

"Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when Gordon Brown eagerly opened his present from President George Bush to discover it was a brown, fur-trimmed, leather bomber jacket - an aviator to be precise. 'Oh thanks, George, just what I've always wanted. What is it?'"

:crazy:
