even far away he looks like a f***ing idiot

1. Shrub looks like he borrowed that jacket from a larger man.

And Gordon Brown has the upper hand in the "World-Leader-Photo-Op-Pissing-Contest" stakes. The body language is very telling - contrast it with Tony "*'s Poodle" Blair's sycophantic asslicking stance in his photos. Gordo is saying, "sorry pal, we don't need any encyclopedias."

3. yes

13. I think his leaning has nothing to do with body language

and everything to do with cocktail hour.

4. Look at the way he leans in toward that guy. Note placement of right arm.

[A Brand New World]

5. If he leans any more, he'll fall over. What an ass!!

Terrible outfit too!

9. My male cats do that to try to dominate the female

They lean in over her.

6. Has he been wearing the same oversized jacket all week?

It needs to be cleaned and pressed. Maybe it's his lucky jacket?

7. Hey, he was a cheerleader in college, and president of the animal house

frat at Yale. Mucho macho.

Gore was simply captain of his football team in high school.

10. Given how many of these that we've seen, I find myself bereft of words to describe ....

.... his total assholitide.

[Arugula Latte]

11. You just know the little pissypants is mad 'cuz Brown is taller.

Oooh, that kind of stuff really ticks him off. He's all about proving his non-existent toughness. I'll bet if he could get away with it, he'd wear his flight suit codpiece every day to prance around in.

12. Dubya's probably going to rush out, to price elevator shoes!

Or at least fiddle with the height of PM Brown's chair, at the next G8 meeting.
