Gordon Brown Signs Autographs In Congress

Ok, let’s picture this.

·         Madonna asking for the autograph of her backing band

·         The pope asking for the blessing of some minor monk

·         Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister, signing autographs in congress

Which is the one least likely? Duh? Too easy? Yes, it is the last one.

If you ever wanted any further evidence to the fact that Americans are the nicest and most insecure powerful people on earth, despite being its major superpower, you needn’t look any further than the goings on in the US Congress on 4^th March 2009. US lawmakers – who run the world’s most powerful state – were queuing to get the autographs of Gordon Brown, the leader of an increasingly insignificant ally and client state.

Gordon Brown would never return back home. Finally, he had discovered the true meaning of being popular and loved.

Long Live America…
