George gets a rough ride. For the most part he deserves it to one degree or another but this whole thing with the Queen is a bit much even for me:
He had stumbled on a line in his speech, saying that she had helped the United States “celebrate its bicentennial in 17…” Mr. Bush caught himself and corrected the date to 1976. He paused, winked, and looked to see if the Queen had taken offence.
Gee wizz. Can’t a guy get a break? Let’s be honest. He are some reasons a visit by HRH to my house would not go so well as a visit to the White House:
- The teas is in a mug. Deal with it.
- My daughter will ask “what’s with that hat?”
- You may have to wait your turn.
- Phil stays outside.
The last one is a biggie. And, yes, that’s a beer. Want one?
