Nasty

Realize norms in the UK are a bit different than here, but I don't remember current PMs being so nasty to former ones.

Cameron said Brown may not be a suitable contender to replace Dominique Strauss-Khan, because of his views on what needs to be done to sort out Britain's public finances. During Brown's premiership, Britain's borrowings mushroomed in the wake of the financial crisis and the ensuing recession.

The Prime Minister said the next chief must be someone who "understands the dangers of excessive debt," and suggested the IMF should look to emerging economies in India, China or South Asia for a candidate, instead of a "washed up politician."

Meanwhile, Cameron's plan to shrink their way to prosperity is going swimmingly.
