    UK labour party brawler John Prescot, was caught off camera calling US president George Bush - Crap.

    When labour spokesmen were interviewed later, some said he did not categorically call Bush crap but another Labour spokesman said Prescot (kown for egg fights and fisticuffs) was calling Bush's road map in the middle east a load of crap.

    Have you seen it? Apparently he called Bush "a cowboy with a stetson on" but he's denying it of course.

    Reminds me of the episode of Family Guy where the English guy is having a drive-by argument.

    "Oh Reginald... I disagree!"

    You gotta love Prescott. He should be kept on just as the official state jester. My personal favourite was when he left jabbed that bloke with a mullet. Priceless.

    Clearly Prescott is the moron here. I mean, if he had opinions about Bush, why did he simper and grovel every time Dubya visited the UK, or why did he not have the backbone to stand up and give us his true opinion? Yet again, the man should get the marching cards he should have received some time ago.

    As I understand it he denied saying that as has anyone who was in the area he was in at the time of the claim.

    I'm sure if he called him an idiot he wouldn't have a problem with it. Most people don't. Heck there was even a TV show in the US asking is Bush an Idiot.

    Typical politicians. Hugging in public and bad-mouthing each other in private.

    What's the expression? "Politicians make peculiar bedfellows?"
