After seeing a historic English settlement in Virginia and a classic horse race in Kentucky, the monarch and her husband Prince Philip were to touch down at Andrews Air Force Base near the capital on Sunday, according to a schedule published by the Royal Family.

A majestic arrival ceremony is then set for Monday morning, when the royal couple will be greeted on the south lawn of the White House with a 21-gun salute and the national anthems of the two countries, the White House said

1. How will Chimp embarrass us this time?

I cringe every time our National Embarrassment meets a foreign head of state.

3. Two possibilities:

1) Forgetting the names of Princes William and Harry, or

2) Forgetting the name of Her Majesty's favorite dog: Welsh Korgies.

She's seen eleven presidents during her reign. None, of course, even approaching the sheer stupidity of this one. (Though Ronnie's bringing food tasters to Windsor Castle for one visit was probably the stupidest single move by an Administration for a visit to London).

Perhaps passing the time of the White House visit by pretending Dub is a court jester will help keep Her Majesty from stressing out!:eyes:

5. Lavish? I Though We Were At War

I guess this is how "The Commander" leads with lavish parties.

6. Well...with white tie and tails

I suppose barbecued ribs are out of the question; the Queen could pull it off, I'm sure...not sure about the Prez, though...
