It tells me he doesn't watch PBS at all.

And what's wrong with his staff? You'd have thought they'd have given him the "two peoples separated by a common language" briefing so he didn't feck it all up.

All that money, and what are they spending it on?

I'm waiting for him to slip in the mud and tell everyone he took a fall on his "fanny." That'll get the Brits talking.
