One of the fascinating things about Brown’s trip to the United States is how while he has kept his relationship with President Bush workmanlike he has been effusive about America in general. Last night on NBC news he told the anchor Brian Williams:
If Blair had said this there would have been irritation in this country about his supposed sycophancy but Brown’s remarks seemed to have passed without comment. (Admittedly, they were rather overshadowed by the revelation that Brown and Blair are still in regular touch).I love your country. I mean I’m, I’m a great supporter of everything that you’ve tried to do. And I look at the history of the United States and you’ve got people who came to this country, built a great country.
