Bush says Queen helped to celebrate US Independence in 1776

[Eurobabe]

BWAHHAHHA!! Stopped the speech. Lots of laughter, what is this asshole drinking??

Seriously, on national TV. I kid you not. On every channel now welcoming the Queen.

[CountAllVotes]

1. thanks for letting me know

I'll be sure NOT to turn on the television! :grr:

[hobbit709]

2. Damn it, I missed it

[Eurobabe]

3. They are saying he winked at the Queen

Surprised he didn't give her a little shoulder rub.

[Danieljay]

7. oh, it was a joke? Funny. NOT. George Bush is the joke and the rest of the world knows it. n/t

[bdamomma]

15. our poor standing in the world continues, god, what an imbecile

we have as pResident. Disgusting he is taking all of us down with him, he needs to be impeached.

[HereSince1628]

4. What's the FU score on that?

Insults foreign country, insults foreign sovereign by claiming support for what they actually sought to suppress.

Insults visiting dignitary, and woman with allusion to her great age.

Demonstrates ignorance of American history.

Demonstrates inability to turn on brain prior to engaging mouth...


That's gotta be one of Bush's higher "Fuck Up" Scores

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. And so it begins...the National Embarrassment called GWB

Won't be long before he makes another idiotic statement or physical faux pas

[atommom]

6. Damn, I thought he was talking about Freddie Mercury.

:(

[shain from kane]

9. Mission Accomplished! We Are the Champions!

[TlalocW]

8. Wait, am I to infer this was a crack on the Queen's age?

And not another verbal gaffe? Oh, good lord.

TlalocW

[snappyturtle]

10. I heard it too....thought I must have heard wrong so I'm

glad you've posted this. A fourth grader could do a better job than *.....so-o embarrassing! I cringe in anticipation every time he speaks. What do you think he'll say at the whooptido dinner tonight? He's probably viewing his participation as an infringement on his free time.

[enlightenment]

11. Oh good grief.

Where is that petition asking Britain to take us back? I want to sign it. Problem is, they'd not have us now . . .

[DinahMoeHum]

12. I understand that actress Helen Mirren turned down his state dinner

invitation, as well as a similar one at Buckingham Palace.

Quite apart from her being too busy working on another movie, why would any self-respecting Brit want to be seen eating formally with that blow-monkey in the White House?

:evilgrin:

[bdamomma]

16. I always liked Helen Mirren, smart woman.

[Alamom]

13. Once an IDIOT, always an IDIOT...we can always count on Idiot Son to be

an Idiot. If nothing else & I mean nothing, he is consistant. :silly:

[shain from kane]

20. The Queen has found her Village Idiot.

[Eurobabe]

25. I think she was thinking the entire time, there is NO WAY he's from the same gene pool

[Alamom]

29. I wish I had said that ....

:rofl:

[treestar]

14. Yeah, she was with *'s Mom

That's what Nancy is telling *:

[bdamomma]

17. what a priceless picture, this idiot is still in power.

:banghead:

[Rob H.]

18. This is the second time I've said this in the space of a week, but

this is still more proof that boatloads of money buys ZERO class. His family may be wealthy but he's white trash right down to the bone--I'm surprised the presidential limo isn't up on blocks on the White House lawn.

[wtmusic]

19. Was the other time in reference to Paris Hilton?

No amount of money can buy good parenting, that's for sure

[Rob H.]

27. Nah, it was after Laura had to recruit Condi

to convince Chimpolini to go "white-tie" for the queen. He's probably bent out of shape 'cause he can't wear his cowboy boots. I look for him to get all whiny if he has to stay up too late, too.

(Agree with you about Paris Hilton, though. :) )

[Ishoutandscream2]

21. Time to bring back 200 year old Art Linkletter

with a new show, "Chimp's say the dumbest fucking things."

[Cameron27]

22. What a big goof.

Is he even potty trained?

[mvd]

23. This pResident is one big embarrassment after..

another. I can't even laugh because it's so sad.

[Eurobabe]

24. It's in the WaPO now, Bush's verbal gaffe

"The audience laughed aloud at a verbal slip by Bush when he said the queen had dined with 10 U.S. presidents and had helped the United States "celebrate its bicentennial in 17..." Bush caught himself and corrected the date to 1976. Bush joked that the queen just "gave me a look that only a mother could give a child.""

I heard it and smacked my head, DOPE!!! This guy is a national embarrassment a million times over.

[DemBones DemBones]

30. I doubt it was a slip, I think it was our boy being "cute." nt

[Eurobabe]

32. He sounded out of it, either toasted or drugged n/t

[Sweet Freedom]

26. Queen thinking: "We are not amused." /nt

[DemBones DemBones]

28. You know, if I were going to meet the Queen,

I would have made sure my clothes fit properly. Don't they have any full-length mirrors in the White House? Doesn't Laura know you can see how your clothes fit in the back if you turn your back on the big mirror and use a hand mirror to see the reflection of your back?

I don't usually criticize her clothes but that suit jacket was pulling across the back, was just a mass of wrinkly pull lines. The sleeves also wrinkled as if they were too tight when she had her arms straight at her sides. I never got a good look at the front but from the side, it seemed to be pulling across the bust. The flouncy collar was dumb-looking, too, but she likes that sort of thing

I could understand it if I didn't know she can afford perfectly fitted clothes. She's not overweight, in fact she's thinner than she used to be so why is she wearing something that screams "I've gained weight"?

The Queen is 80 years old and has a far more matronly figure but her clothes fit well.

Condi ought to take Laura shopping and help her buy clothes that fit well. Preferably before the big white-tie dinner.

[kestrel91316]

31. I think Pickles' designers are having a little 8-year joke at her expense.

What with the draperies and ill fits and such.

[DemBones DemBones]

36. You could be right. It would explain a lot.

The colors she chooses are subjective choices but fit is an objective, measurable thing. Anyone who has ever made clothes notices fit immediately. That's a major reason for making your own clothes, fitting them to your unique body. But I would think that anyone would notice when something wrinkles and pulls.

The evening gown she wore this evening for the big white-tie banquet was ugly, having big flaps hanging down over her breasts. I never saw the back of it so I don't know if it was too tight.

Actually, fashion designers often design clothes that look horrible on women. They look fine hanging on a hanger but put them on a woman and there's a problem. Catalogs (and stores) are full of fashion horrors like horizontal stripes, patch pockets at the hip level, patch pockets over the breasts, etc., things guaranteed to make anyone who's not very thin look like a blimp.

I particularly notice them in catalogs because very often these unflattering styles are offered in plus sizes while styles that do not visually add pounds and inches are not offered in plus sizes. Seems like a conspiracy to make plus size women go naked.

[BluePatriot]

33. *snerk*

[Cobalt-60]

34. Just when I thought he couldn't be any more of a disgrace

Bush excavates his way to a new low.

[DrDan]

35. I saw this

junior was trying to be so serious and formal

then all the laughter after his gaff . . . what a fool . . . what an embarassment

[Joe Bacon]

37. Well, at least he kept his hands to himself

Things could have been worse, he could have massaged the Queen.

And she could have given him a good pop in the face if he tried! :evilgrin:

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. and the queen mumbled something like "oh my"

which was right...

If you saw KO take on it later on, well there were a bunch of red coats marching down iwth Bessies on their shoulders... a well behaved CONTINENTAL army

No wonder the boy who wanted to be king got confused
