British Floods Expose Useless British Goverment

It took 480,000 homes to have their power cut off to get Gordon Brown to take a 15 minute helicopter overflight, (on July 23rd, when the flooding started in late June) and the outrage reserved, even by Britons themselves of George Bush is not meted out for this true miserable failure. All-knowing, all-feeling Euro-citizens in the bucolic countryside found lowering themselves to New Orleanian looter Katrinaesque behavior:

First I heard about them was on The Daily Show, and they jokingly talked about Katrina and how England took care of business. Well, now it’s definitely a joke, because the floods have been going on since June, and The Daily Show report was in late July.

Yes, I know The Daily Show is a faux news show, so don’t give me that. What I don’t care for is the expectation that anyone else can handle things better than the U.S. now. It’s a generally accepted self-loathing malaise, and I find it repugnant.
