MoDo: The Buck House Stops Here

Wow, MoDo doesn't suck this week. Apparently, the Queen really laid one on Bush!

In her remarks honoring Mr. Bush at the state dinner last night, Queen Elizabeth unleashed a barrage of favorable references to the most dreaded words in the Bush-Cheney lexicon: "multilateral order," "trans-Atlantic partnership," "other allies" and "effective international institutions."

"At the very core of the new international and multilateral order, which emerged after the shared sacrifices of that last terrible world war, was a vital dynamic trans-Atlantic partnership working with other allies to create effective international institutions," she said. This, to a president who has never met an international institution he did not try to wreck and who's darting around like a fugitive in the land of the "special relationship," using Buck House as a safe house.

Her Majesty barely mentioned the pesky colonial mess in Iraq — where U.S. occupiers are also surrounded by razor wire, concrete barricades and armed guards — and spent more time praising the first President Bush's leadership than the second's.
