Scaly. Undeniably scaly.

Dear Prime Minister Cameron:

It has come to our attention that you recently made a speech during a state dinner in which you claimed that President Obama "has pressed the reset button on the moral authority of the entire free world." Inasmuch as this statement has set a new standard in unctuous, lickspittle toadyism, we have no alternative but to demand that you hand in your Man Card instanter.

In fact, we are far from certain that you are even in possession of an authentic card; it defies belief that anyone capable of engaging in such shameless flattery could ever have come by a Man Card legitimately, and so we suspect that it may well be a forgery. Nonetheless, you are notified herewith that any attempt to pass yourself off as a man, instead of the oleaginous invertebrate humanoid that you have revealed yourself to be, will have the sternest consequences.

Govern yourself accordingly.

Sincerely,

Paco
President, Man Card International


Cameron thought bubble: "I do hope I don't get mustard on his arse."

First, he'd have to get the mustard on his nose.

Cameron thought if he kissed the toad he's turn into a prince. Alas, another croaker.

And please don't lecture me about my carbon footprint after they took all those people and planes to Dayton for a basketball game.

Cameron was neutered at an early age. Thus, any discussion about manhood is moot.

DavidD said...

Is this the same "reset" button that was given to the Russians, which turned out to be a "recharge" button instead?

I prefer to think that PM Cameron was getting in a subtle dig at President O-bozo.

DavidD: I'd like to believe that, but, given the context and Cameron's other remarks, he'd have to have a well-established reputation as a superior ironist for that interpretation to be credible.

Skeeter said...

Paco, may I be the first to commend you for your use of UK English spelling in Cameron's quote.
(I was tempted to add more praise for your excellent prose, but realised that such amplification might jeopardise my Man Card.)

Deadman said...

Mr Cameron was speaking with heavy irony; and, in a little hint that we were to interpret his speech as enantiotic, he called Mrs Obama “beautiful” several times.

I'm certain that PM Harper has expressed his high admiration for President Obama; I'm also certain that Mr Harper knows the definitions of satire, irony and sardonicism. Perhaps he has mentioned these to PM Cameron.

Cheers

What could Cameron have wanted so badly to have made such an abject spectacle of himself? A make-over of the Extradition Treaty that the Brits are screaming about? I doubt if sweet talk has any effect on Obama. I think he only responds to naked power...and money.

You notice that Cameron met with NYC bankers afterward. Perhaps, he got a loan to donate to O's campaign. Buy that treaty back.

Obviously, Cameron's advisors think O will be re-elected. He blew off meeting with Republican candidates. Could have been a strategic error.

Oleaginous, I think.

And spell-check agrees.


Does the phrase "Perfidious Albion" ring a bell?

Paco said...

Mojo: spellchick is for kowards, but if it'll make you hoppy, I'll fix the misspeling. Oj?
