Agreed Ruth as ever! He refers to "the Americans" and Barrymore does the same, he's so disrespectful to Traci & Dennis doing that - quipping in about American habits etc when they don't tow his line fasty enough. Yet he flatters Traci like mad? Your spot on with Leader of the house - the other one he is in -playing a minor bit part so this is probably a substitute? The arrogance get's me - "I find that I am an MP & here yet the young ones haven't asked a single question - I find this amazing!" They don't care! Preston admires him for some qualities, he was sying yesterday with his apology I thought he went to far! Galloway lapped it up!
