English PM does Bush doggie style

Sorry, that title is me trying to write the kind of headline the English tabloids use on their front page. Those writers are geniuses. No wonder they don’t work in advertising. So Brown has met Bush. I think it would have been cool if Brown had walked into Bush’s office at Camp David. Preferably with the James Bond soundtrack playing in the background. And tossed a small box across the table. Bush opens the box and nestled on a purple silk cushion is a bright red leather dog collar studded with tiny diamantes.
Bush would have looked at it and not got the joke. He would have looked over to Condi who would have shrugged her shoulders pretending she didn’t get the point. Then all eyes would have focused back on Mr. Brown.
‘That……’ (He would add a small pause for effect here)
… belonged to Blair…. (Another pause),
You can have it back now.’
Brown will be at pains to let the English punters know he isn’t going to be Bush’s Poodle but I wonder what goes on behind closed doors. Now they have had their first meeting I am sure the yanks have laid it out to Brown and explained just how things work in the big bad world. Of course Brown isn’t going to be Bush’s Poodle. He doesn’t look anything like a Poodle. Basset Hound is my guess. He’s got the ears.
