British lose right to claim that Americans are dumber

I subscribe to a monthly compilation of editorial cartoons and columns entitled The Funny Times.  One of the best sections of that paper is “The Borowitz Report” by Andy Borowitz.  This month the paper featured his article entitled “British Lose Right to Claim That Americans Are Dumber.”  

The article pointed out that after the vote to leave the European Union, the British could no longer engage in their sport of treating American voters like idiots.

However, the article concluded with this hopeful paragraph:

In the face of this startling display of national idiocy [a pub owner in North London] still mustered some of the resilience for which British people are known.  “This is a dark day,” he said.  “But I hold out hope that, come November, Americans could become dumber than us once more.”
