SO classy...President Urkel! And REALLY helping foreign relations,too.

But if you gotta do something like that, do it with the Brits. They
are the least likely to take offense and most likely to write it off to
Americans just being Americans. Personally I was hoping he'd give the
French a US-Standard Jerry Lewis collection, but that is just me.

at least he didn't give them a used bong and crack pipe.
