There's probably an Ugly Everybody, even an Ugly Dutchie.

Perhaps it IS "selective presentation".

You know, I'm a great fan of British television drama, like Waking the Dead and "Spooks",

but in the instance of Spooks, in which I watched all TEN seasons, buying a multi-directional

dvd player to buy the seasons BEFORE they came to the U.S., I must say that, much as I

liked it, I don't believe they ever portrayed even ONE American character (and there were many)

as good or decent. My spouse blamed it on the fact that a good part of the show was

written during the Bush Administration, when the government officials were particularly arrogant and obnoxious,

but I remember the last couple of seasons when we were well into the Obama Adminsitration in which they did the same.

Oh well. .
