Thanks to JR for this teachable moment

I have a British coworker. We were discussing the election and he just shook his head. “Explain this Palin woman to me,” more of a rhetorical WTF than an actual request but I obliged him.

“What we are looking at is the first chav presidency.”

He looked suitably horrified. “But what about the current bloke?”

“Ok, second chav presidency.”

“Bugger.”

Heh.
