The Brits on GWB

Instapundit.com Quoth the maven: THIS BUSH INTERVIEW from The [London] Times is worth reading, but this part seems to have caught the eye of a lot of InstaPundit readers:

"In person Mr Bush is so far removed from the caricature of the dim, war-mongering Texas cowboy of global popular repute that it shakes one’s faith in the reliability of the modern media."

Recalling for the record, US elites were head over heels for FDR whom our Gallant British Allies described as a "second rate mind wrapped up in a first rate personality" (that may be a paraphrase, not a quote). US elites loathe GWB whom the Brits describe above.
