Gordon humiliated by Paddy O'Bama

In case you don't want to go there, it's a song called There's no-one as Irish as Barack Obama. A fun idea but it does go on a bit. Like It's a Small World After All in DisneyWorld, once you've been subjected to it (argh...) your brain can never shake off the infestation.

Cranmer, whose anti-RC acid intrudes unpleasantly and too readily on an otherwise illuminating and very worthwhile Christian/conservative blog (still, nobody's perfect) makes an interesting point today.

Northern Ireland's politicians and former terrorist commanders are in the USA to celebrate St Patrick's Day, which is in fact a week in America, but then they do everything bigger over there. Their apples, for instance, are much bigger than ours. On the other hand, we grow our apples to fit our mouths. Harr harr.

Today brings yet another slap in the face for Gordon Brown. How simply frightful! How humiliating! How delightful! And have you noticed how often they come around, these days, lightening our recessionary gloom?

Gordon brown entered the White House through a side entrance and was granted a half-hour chat with the President followed by a working lunch. There was no press conference and the British delegation was limited in numbers.

Mr McGuinness will walk in through the front door of the White House and be given the full red carpet treatment. It is a de facto State Visit with full retinue and a joint press conference. There shall be two hours of talks and a lavish gala reception at which Mr McGuinness shall be a guest of honour, seated on the top table.

Begorrah, ye'd need a heart o' stone not to laugh, so y'would.
