The Queen and * are on CNN/state dinner
* is sitting next to the Queen.

He was laughing inappropriately (in my view anyway). You know, that "good ole Texan knee jerk" laughing.

The Queen leaned over and said something to him, and the laughing immediately stopped.

God Save the Queen.

4. Just tuned in, but Phillip
didn't exactly look enamored of the Missus. She talked mostly with Prince Charles. Can't imagine what Anne is talking to him about. Certainly not horses. He keeps sniffing and looks like he'd like to wipe his nose on his sleeve.

6. On our local news
Here in Texas, the talking heads were pattering back and forth. One of them mentioned that GW had met the Queen before, attending a dinner at the WH when his Poppy was prez. GW wore cowboy boots emblazoned with "God Save the Queen". Isn't that just, um, classyfied?

11. and he leaned over and asked the Queen
"Do you have any black sheep in your family?"

Barbara Bush interceded by shouting, "Don't answer that!!"

True story.

Have to find the link.

Oh geez!
Considering his upper class upbringing, posh prep schools, ivy league colleges and the like, you'd think the 'tard would have absorbed just a tiny bit of etiquette. What am I thinking?

7. Bush just doesn't fit....
He looks so out of place there and that squinting and smugness needs to be smacked out of him...and that laugh is beyond annoying, he doesn't know when to stop it...

Condi looks quite vexing...for once...

I use to live in England and the Piece Of Shit is not suppose to even look the Queen in the Eye.
They wanted a picture of him telling the Queen a joke and the Queen laughing at it. That is the plan and that is what will be plastered in all of the Newspapers and all over the "Liberal" Media.

Did Pickles curtsy when she met the Queen? I don't think so.

The Bush Trash family are doing everything that they are not suppose to do and getting away with it.

GD'it when are they going to "Report" the damn truth.

If Clinton disrespected a 500 year old tradition of the British the "Liberal" media would have a field day with what he was doing.

I believe Hillary curtsied in front of the Queen and Pickles hasn't done that.

33. Has Her Majesty ever laughed aloud in public?
I guess I assumed she's been tranied since birth to suppress those sort of things and always appear dignified. Not that laughing aloud isn't, but you know.

34. Watching this morning
Shrub and Pickles met Liz and Phil. Shrub greeted Liz and Pickles was starting to greet Phil. She seemed to stop mid-movement when she realized that she was supposed to say hi to Liz first.

Oh, this is too complex for them. I don't know whether to wither with embarrassment or start screaming with laughter.

Americans don't take too kindly to bowing to other humanoids.

41. I wondered about that. I'm aware that there are certain
rules of etiquette that surround the Queen and family, and I couldn't imagine that Chimpy would know these or even bother to find out.

How long did you live in UK?

What other things have you noticed about Chimpy's visit?

She absolutely looks disgusted with him and with the visit. Contrast that to the photo with Bill Clinton where she was all smiles.
