>>     If his aim was to be noticed by America, Russell Brand more than
>> achieved his goal last night as he ranted that President Bush was a
>> "retarded cowboy" while hosting the MTV awards.
>>     The British comedian, who is a virtual unknown in America, left the
>> crème of the music world stunned as he championed Barack Obama, ran down
>> George Bush and made lewd jokes about the Christian pop band Jonas
>> Brothers.
>>     Ignoring the renowned patriotism of Americans, Brand told the
>> Hollywood audience they must vote for Barrack Obama "on behalf of the
>> world", before insinuating that America had lower standards than Britain
>> when it came to picking leaders
>>     [...] Members of the studio audience, including Britney Spears, who
>> was making a much-hyped comeback appearance, and Hannah Montana star Miley
>> Cyrus, looked horrified at Brand's jokes. [...]
