British MPs Agree: Bush Is Crap

Isn't it refreshing, this mini-vacation we are getting from typical political spin? I mean, really now, how do you spin it when someone that high up the food chain in the government of our only remaining lap dog, I mean ally, speaks so plainly?

Yesterday we read in The Independent that British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott summed up his opinion of the Bush Administration in a single word: crap. Today that same newspaper has multiple Members of Parliament (MPs) going on record agreeing with Prescott's assessment.

Highlights include:

Ian Davidson, Glasgow South West MP:

"I think that John Prescott is to be commended for the quality of his political analysis. His comment on American policy is brief and accurate. Britain has got to ensure that it is no longer seen as simply being the glove puppet of the United States."

Glenda Jackson, Hampstead and Highgate MP:

"I entirely endorse his view. This is why Parliament should be recalled. This government is failing miserably as far as our approach towards the Middle East is concerned. We are simply... bag carriers for Bush and all his policies have been a disaster."

Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London:

"I have no idea what John Prescott did or did not say since it was a private conversation, but... the current US administration has been a disaster for the American people and has done untold damage not only to international relations but to the environment."
