An emailer from Blighty writes the following:
Bush doesn’t deserve to win, because his errors – Iraq, deficits – outweigh his merits – Afghanistan, not being Al Gore.
Kerry doesn’t deserve to win either, being, as we’d say in Britain, a plonker, a prat, a numptie.
Who’d prefer a frivolous result e.g. Bush wins the popular vote but Kerry wins the Electoral College?
Okay, I haven’t lived there for twenty years. What on earth is a “numptie”?
