Our Preznit Does Us Proud Again
When you’ve just made it sound like the Queen is more than 200 years old, there may be a few ways of recovering from the gaffe.But turning to her and giving her a sly wink is probably not included in any book of royal etiquette.
Now, don’t get me wrong; normally I couldn’t give two shits about the British Royal Family. My reaction to any news involving the American public’s obsession with such quaint relics of a long-bygone era generally runs along the lines of “Um, didn’t we fight a war awhile back to get away from these people?”
Nevertheless, I weep for the humiliation visited upon my nation daily by the bumbling exploits of my room-temperature-IQ president, and I commend the Queen for having the strength and fortitude to refrain from slapping him directly across his stupid, grinning, spoiled frat boy face.
And, although I’ve been opposed to the bloody, pointless clusterfuck in Iraq since the very beginning, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that the British leaders at least seem to have the courage of their convictions: Prince Harry, the third in line for the British crown, is heading to Iraq to fight. I’m certain this sterling example of putting one’s money where one’s mouth is will soon be taken up by our own leaders. Surely, the Bush twins, Cheney daughters, sons and daughters of prominent Republican war supporters, and those brave, patriotic 101st Fighting Keyboarders of military age are heading out to their local recruitment centers as we speak.
Right?
