It was a day for pomp and circumstance — a military color guard, a fife and drum band in white wigs, red jackets and tricornered hats — punctuated by a presidential slip of the tongue that lightened the moment during Mr. Bush’s welcoming remarks. Mr. Bush reminded the 81-year-old queen that she had already dined with 10 American presidents.

“You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 —— ” he went on, stopping to correct himself before 1776 could slip out. The crowd erupted in laughter, and the president and the queen turned to each other for a long, silent gaze. Then, Mr. Bush turned back to the crowd with an explanation. “She gave me a look,” he said, “that only a mother could give a child.”

Mr. 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 and Mrs. Bush played host to their own state dinner for the queen. By several different accounts, including Mr. 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.”

... and that's the nicest thing I can think to say about him.

:banghead:

(taking a close look at BOTH Laura and Mr. Suave).

What clowns they BOTH ARE. Look at dip-shit look on Laura's face, like she just polished off a Jack Daniels all by herself. Bush has got a stupid grin on his face.

But look at the QUEEN's face!!! Tells everything.

she looks totally disgusted.

The Tralfamadorians would be quite amused.

her and * glasses on a tray. They both took a glass. * put his down immediately on the table and sat down leaving the Queen standing alone taking a long drink from her glass. I don't believe it was proper for a president to take his seat, he should have remained standing with the Queen until she sat down.

thought what a classless pig not even paying any attention to his guest and sits down while she stands alone in a toast. The Queen must rally think we have a cretin as president.

I hate royalty as much as I hate the Bush administration.

you gotta admit, he is a total embarrassment.

One of her best I think.

:rofl:

that's a de la Renta dress on her?

Why does she ALWAYS look so goddamned awful? I could find a more flattering dress at Macy's in 15 minutes.

of a silhouette.
