Not a bad idea, but it's a little long, and the punch is weak, and too much of a leap Bush to Brown. Shorten it, and stick with Bush wanting to be like Obama in my view.

Gordon Brown....boring! Laughing out loud I can live with that :D

Yep, with Sooty, it was amusing but fizzled out with an oblique reference. So good but needs a strong finish IMO.

Ditto the above posters.
Loved this....

Pretty much what everyone else is saying, so there must be something in it ;) :)
