Poor judgement you say? Try to remember that it was Gordie who sold England's Gold for $250 back in 1999 or so. That trash got a better reception than he is qualified for. You Russians take note; we, that's US have plenty of trash of our own in office. When they come to visit, 'Brown 'em good'. HawHaw

"This week, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown was the first world leader to meet with US President Barack Obama in Washington." Dated March 6 2009. This is wrong. The first world leader Obama met with was Stephen Harper on February 19, 2009. How is it a international news team missed that? Surely they remember when Canada commented on the Russian Bomber that flew close to Canadian airspace the day before (Feb.18/2009).
