Is ‘tosser’ the default setting for all Americans?

I am neither a royalist nor a fan of the British presence in Afghanistan, but right now I am lost for a single charitable thing to say about Matt Drudge.

It seems to me that he has just confirmed (to the reasoning world – of which he certainly isn’t an inhabitant) that there is a fair bit of meat on the bones of the stereotypical view that sees Americans as a bunch of clueless tossers.
