The Curse of Brown

[agricola]

Three easy, quick and painful steps to making someone look stupid:

i) Gordon Brown praises one of Obama's policies, in an almost unprecedented move publicly backing one side against another:

ii) large numbers of UK political types note that public support from Brown is usually fatal:

iii) McCain's campaign pick the story up, and find that Obama has in fact quietly (its a shame things arent really deleted on the internet) ditched the very policy that Brown was praising him for, hoping noone would notice:
