Snubbing the Desperate Gordon Brown

There's much fun to be had with any snub of Gordon Brown. Especially when it comes from Barack Obama:

Gordon Brown lurched from being hailed as a global statesman to intense embarrassment tonight, after it emerged US President Barack Obama had turned down no fewer than five requests from Downing Street to hold a bilateral meeting at the United Nations in New York or at the G20 summit starting in Pittsburgh today.

No fewer than five requests? Jesus Christ, Gordon, have a little fucking dignity. What the hell is wrong with you? Did you think he would suddenly say yes after the first four requests? Evidently mindless persistency and pleading doesn't work when dealing with the President of the United States of America; an obvious fact to everyone not connected directly to the strange, strange world of our incumbent Prime Minister.

This desperation to get the attention of Barack Obama means Gordon Brown come across like the fat girl stood at the side of the hall at a school disco. Or like the weedy, spotty boy desperately hoping for attention from the most attractive girl in the school - who, of course, doesn't even know the pathetic loser exists. I just wish Gordon Brown could get a fucking grip and realise he is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. And also figure out that if his premiership is so reliant on an affectionate smile from Barack Obama, then he is resolutely and absolutely fucked.
