Boulder-Springs CO (ANS): Colorado Congressman T. Emory "Em" Gideon (RW) today called for the United States government to sever relations with the United Kingdom over the current audit and repayment demands for MP overstated expenses.

"The Brits have gone too damned far," Gideon stated to radio call in host Berni Piat at KZUD 88.2 FM early this morning. "How the hell can politicians be expected to do effective work if they think they're going to have to pay back every little piss-ant expense? Who the hell are you going to get to run this country if elected officials are expected to follow the same damned rules as the freakin' plebes? I say we send a message now. We cut off British imports (except for Laphoraig, of course, we can't be too over the top with this) and shut down all the crap on the airwaves from BBC. We've got our own crappy television people should be watching."

The recording seems to indicated that Gideon slammed down his phone on disconnect and has since been unavailable for comment. Follow the Journal for more updates.
