"Merkin" was being used by people in other English-speaking countries to refer to Americans when I first stumbled across the Internet in 1996. The Australians also call us "seppos." The Canadians seem to polite to use either of those. Some of the British were shocked that "merkin" didn't make us feel insulted. We just laughed about it.

Dubya also used to threaten to do terrible things to "tourists".

I'd forgotten that one. Tourists, and the causes of 'tourism.

When I was in high school, there was a teacher with that as a last name. Hilarity ensued. She was not respected by the students.

Kind of a backhand, Pete ... "Merkins" ?  might want to think about that: [^] "mericans" more on target.
Any country's national identity holidays are an elephant you can't miss, if you want to pillory its stereotypic caricatures.

I haven't seen it, but the clips show him still beating people up. If that's not hiding his age, I don't know what is.
