You've got to be kidding. Arthur Herman points out this morning that, while Gordon Brown gave Obama an official gift of a pen holder made from a Royal Navy destroyer and a first-edition of Randolph Churchill's and Martin Gilbert's eight-volume biography of the man who saved Western civilization, Obama gave Brown - I am not making this up - 25 DVDs. The set includes movies like ET, Star Wars, and The Wizard of Oz. All of which I'm pretty sure Brown has seen already. And which he may already own, in fact. Maybe even on Blu-Ray.

Up next: Obama gives Angela Merkel a Best Buy gift card.
