I don't mean to brag, but back in the day when my Casanova kung fu was high, my nickname was Bounty* because I was the "quicker picker upper".

Ahmed's picking on the wrong presidents. George Washington was just voted <a href="http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2012\/04\/15\/us-britain-enemies-idUSBRE83E0BL20120415" target="_blank">Britain's greatest enemy</a>.

This may seem a little dated, but even centuries later, feelings are apparently still raw. Matthew Hughes of London's Brunel University called him "not particularly pleasant ideologically." Harsh.

Lesson number one of the British media:

<strong>NEVER</strong> trust the Daily Mail. Especially when they print something apparently damaging about a Labour politician. This is the paper that endorsed Hitler, and went downhill from there.

"we utterly condemn these remarks which are totally unacceptable. ”

Now see, a person from anyplace normal would say this. Had the dude been a US Representative, the official statement would have been, "while we strongly disagree with the gentleman from Bugfuckistan, we respect his right to express those views. Then they'd bring in David Vitter to give him a big 'ol hug.
