Default Bush screws up meeting the Queen..

Guess the so called drive by media missed this, or were told not to print this so had to go across the pond to find the info on another faux pas for more Bushism's.. this guy needs to be kept on a short leash or not let out in public. FYI Peyton was on the list of dignitaries who attended this dinner, guess he will be another poster child for George. For someone who would like to be king, he does not understand the protocols associated with the crown. Don't wink at the queen.. where is Gomezcat or Mike the Brit on this one??

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.

Stumbling over his words, he came perilously close to suggesting that the monarch had toured the States in 1776.

And although the President's following wink was initially rewarded with a regal glare, the Queen did at least seem to see the funny side of the blunder.

After the blunder the President paused and turned to the Queen to acknowledge his gaffe, joking that she "gave me a look that only a mother could give a child."

Ripples of laughter echoed around those gathered at the event and the President laughed off the mistake and continued his speech.

If I met her, I'd gladly moon her... then give her the finger.

I mean, really... who gives a fluck about some old imbred lady that never lifted a finger in her life.

I could give 2 freezing cat crapsicles as Fitzy would say.

...and end it with a big beer belch.

What Is The Queens Last Name

What Was Diana's Married Name

What Is Charlie's Last Name

That Thing That Charlie Married, Her Last Name Was Bowels, What Is It Now

Is there a more insignificant family in the world? Seriously, who cares about these people? Why are we wasting our tax dollars on Kaviar for this insignificant hacks?

I just watched it HERE.

daaym, talk about much ado about nothing. I actually thought it was a cute exchange and a great recovery from a mispeak. The frostly ole' tart didn't even hear him probably.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.......

Mr Bush is the leader who once greeted Prime Minister Tony Blair with: "Yo, Blair. How are you doing?"
He hasn't been so successful in the past, however. He once admitted to the Queen he was the black sheep of his family and then turned to her and asked "Who's yours?"

Wife Swappers:
At the banquet, Mr Bush will sit next to the Queen at Table 12, while Mrs Bush will join Philip at Table 11.

A few years ago didn't they find some guy running around in the Queens bedroom at 3:00AM and didn't it happen several times?

How much do the people have to pay in taxes to support these a$s holes, Prince Charlie and Cammella Bowels belong in a Laurel & Hardy movie, I'd rather take a shower with Janet Reno than "Princess Bowels".
