Here's how the London Review views the election of W. This might represent a world view that Americans need to know about.

for those of you who didn't care for the Mirror's editorial on Bush, here's one from the more genteel and literary London Review. Do be forewarned about the precision of the precise British use of language.

Subject: Election commentary, articulated with impeccable British reserve


From The London Review

George Bush? Again? May the saints and angels preserve us.

November 03, 2004

Oh America, what have you done?
You've put him back in.

Probably.

Depending upon which way the Ohio recount goes. And
anyway, whatever the final tally in Ohio, the 2004
election result means one thing for certain: great
swathes of America are as DUMB AS FUCK. Too dumb to
live, let alone vote.

You stupid, good-for-nothing, hick fucks, sitting
there in your stretchy trousers, wrapped in your stars
and stripes, clutching at each others' fat hands and
singing God Bless America while your blessed
commander-in-fucking-chief sells the world for a quick
buck. You whooping twits, sucking up the lies like
mother's milk. You stupid stupid fucks. You deserve to
die. Choke on your fat-burgers you cretinous losers.
Fuck you all. Sorry - fuck y'all. Do you understand
that? You cow-brained pricks.

Are you really so violently thick that you can't get
beyond thinking: Yup, we's at war, and the President
he's a good man and he's gonna whip those commie
Arabs?? --- oh whatever --- Christ, there's no point
in trying to peer into your minds, you sack of shit
morons. Might as well poke a beached jellyfish with a
stick.

It is almost impossible, for an outsider, or in fact
anyone who isn't educationally subnormal, to imagine
what it must be like to be a Bush voter. Amanda
McLoughlin, a London News Review contributor, was in
the States to see the madness unfold:

"I'm in the unfortunate position of being on the West
Coast and watching the horrific results as they come
in. Who the hell are these bastards who vote for Bush?
I don't understand it at all."

So, thanks to you stupid bastards, the world has to
suffer another four years of Bush. How many more wars
will that mean? How many pipelines? How much SHIT do
we have to swallow?

To heck in handcart, that's where we're heading.
To heck in a big fat, red-white-and-blue,
star-spangled handcart.

God bless America.
