Running Queen Thread

What the hell, no liberals bashing Bush's slip of the tongue concerning this?

From wire reports on yesterday's WH arrival:

"You've dined with 10 U.S. presidents," Bush said on the South Lawn with the 81-year-old sovereign at his side. "You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in seventeen s..." -- here the president caught himself -- "in nineteen seventy-six."

The crowd laughed. Bush looked sheepishly at Elizabeth, who glanced up from the text of her own speech, smiled politely, and said something that sounded like "some year," "you're near" or even "oh, dear."

"She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child," a quick-thinking Bush reported back to the assembly.

 

Or this....

Bush had been the recipient of such a look once before in the queen's presence -- from his own mother, back in 1991, when the first President Bush and Barbara Bush played host to their own state dinner for the queen. By several different accounts, including Bush's own, Barbara Bush told the queen that she had seated her son far away from Her Majesty, for fear he might make a wisecrack.

Then, to his mother's horror, he did, telling the queen that he was his family's black sheep and asking, "Who's yours?"

The queen, apparently not amused, replied tartly, "None of your business."

See, we Bushites can laugh at ourselves and him too.

 

It's nice to know in America that the black sheep of the family can be elected (sort of) president instead of being forced upon us like some kind of monarchy.

 

Elected. Meaning, of course, that the will of the people dictated it.

If not by the rules of the game in campaign 1, then by the popular vote in campaign 2, even with a listing war situation and four years of isolated venom about to be released by the loosening of the tourniquet to flow through the veins of America, which would then repudiate the so-called appointment of Bush II in 2000.


What, that didn't happen?

 

Hey, leave Prince Andrew out of this!

 

Do you think she brings little tzochkes home with her? White House soaps? 'Hello from Jamestown!' coffee mugs?

I bet she swipes the Sweet & Low off the table. It would definitely explain the purse.

 

Nope, she's English. We don't use sweetener. Pure cane sugar if you please.

 

Running Queen?
Coming right up!

 

Vials of SARS. Turn YOUR back on the Empire, eh?
