“One-eyed Scottish Idiot”

Jeremy Clarkson: “(In the UK) we’ve got this one-eyed Scottish idiot, he keeps telling us everything’s fine and he’s saved the world and we know he’s lying, but he’s smooth at telling us.”

I know there’s a lot of people upset about Clarkson saying this but to my mind the first two parts of that statement in the title are factually accurate and it’s only the third that’s really up for debate. Not much debate on my part though as I think Jeremy’s right. Any City folk or Scots (or Scottish City folk) want to give an opinion?
