With A Royal Invitation From The Queen, George And Laura Arrive In London!
By Debbie Daniel (11/19/03)
I´m beginning to feel toward the naysayers of the world a bit like Eliza Doolittle in the movie, My Fair Lady — “Just you wait Henry Higgins, just you wait!”
I really do believe in my heart of hearts there´s a “great day comin´” when we´re all going to stand up and shout, “BUSH WAS RIGHT . . . Hallelujah!”
With all the condemnations thrown at George Bush, and all of you who have threatened to make it your life´s mission to thwart any remote possibility of his re-election, isn´t it strange that the Queen of England finds such favor in him?
I bet many of you wonder how in the world the “Bushies” got an invitation to Buckingham Palace for a 3-day stay, and not another president in the history of the United States has had such a royal invite for a full state visit? Not even Franklin Roosevelt . . . Harry Truman . . . John F. Kennedy . . . or Ronald Reagan. Doesn´t that just get in your crawl . . . you who can´t stand the man?
Yee-haw! I love it! And I love watching your blood boil . . . you backbiters just slay me.
But it´s okay, you´re not alone. It seems there will be plenty of protesters out in full anti-American gear holding “Stop Bush Rallies” all over London. A 61 yr. old grandmother was found scaling the metal gates at Buckingham Palace and unfurled a US flag upside down on the gate to show her displeasure of the President´s visit. I bet she looked cute.
Maybe Brad Pitt and his wife Jennifer Aniston, who I like to refer to as the “Pitts” (sounds fitting, doesn´t it?) could commence their “Peace” mission this week in London. Many of you could go along with them and form an American contingency to really show those Brits how to demonstrate hatred toward this American president.
You´ve been so good at it here at home, I can only imagine how superb your performance will be when you can “sing along with the choir.”
Would someone please call Barbra Streisand and let her know the bus is leaving for the airport? Gosh, I hope you don´t leave her behind; she really needs this after the recent CBS cancellation of the Reagan movie. This would lift her spirits. Would you like for me to call her?
Gee, guys, I´d love to give you a personal send off — Go get ‘em . . . tear our president apart . . . let it all hang out . . . all the cursing, all the vitriol, all the mean spirited things you´ve been wanting to tell him.
And when it´s all over, would you just stay there? We´re sick of listening to you.
Isn´t it amazing that that “simpleton” of a President, whom the Bush-haters think has half a brain; can´t speak without a stutter; can´t walk without a swagger; won´t get that silly smirk off his face . . . has been asked to stay-over at the Queen´s palace? We´re talking monarchy, folks. . . How did he rate such a deal?
But the more I read, the more I learn that several government officials on both sides feel this is too tough an assignment: the U.S. thinks it will be hard to sell their “Boy George” to the British, and the British think it will be a nightmare having George there.
Some feel the timing just isn´t right for this to happen. The royal invitation was given in July of 2002. I guess they never thought we´d be going to war; hunting for murderers who knocked over several of our buildings, and killed a few thousand on the way down.
Many U.S. officials had hoped to tone-him-down a bit for this trip; they think our president comes off too macho. Do you think leaders like “Rough Rider Teddy Roosevelt” or “Never, Never, Never Give-Up Winston Churchill” were encouraged to present themselves in a “gentler” manner?
George Bush is who he is, leave the man alone. That´s right, get your paws off of him; some of us like him just the way he is.
Why in the world are we trying to sell him to the British as a softer, more caring president? Are they afraid he´s going to go in and start shootin´ up the place? Should he not wear his boots emblazoned with “God Save The Queen” (those were the boots he was wearing the first time he met “Your Highness” at a White House State Dinner his father hosted in 1992)?
She´s seen his rough side; in fact, I believe at that same event, he asked her if there were any black sheep in her family. That´s who he was as a young George Bush, and this is who he is today.
It must not have bothered her at all. Eat your heart out, Bill Clinton; you were never invited to hang-out with the Queen.
There must have been something about him she liked, wouldn´t you say? Or do you just think she´s stupid, too?
I read there will be topplings of several George Bush paper-mache statues — parroting the same behavior shown when Saddam´s likeness was pulled to the ground and trampled. I wonder how many Babs will stomp on.
There are scheduled demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of people who want a piece of this blood-thirsty maniac called George Bush. They want to send a message loud and clear: “We do not like you, Mr. President . .. now go home.”
Well, I guess it´s nice to know who your friends are, huh?
Although Winston Churchill once declared: “Never separate yourself from the United States,” there are Brits who believe that Prime Minister Tony Blair´s a bit too cozy with this president. And many are still befuddled by the Queen´s open arms.
Well, let me offer up a little scenario that really isn´t that far-fetched, especially in light of the recent attacks on Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris could come falling down; the Arc de Triomphe could be blown to smithereens; Buckingham Palace or the Tower of London could be “mucked up,” and it could all happen in one fell swoop.
And when it does . . . who are they gonna´ call? . . . Howard Dean?
No, it´ll be American troops and that “gun-toting sheriff” from Crawford. Let it never be forgotten . . . your hypocrisy will find you out!
You just might have to eat crow and pray to God (hark, wouldn´t that be something?) for that crazy cowboy to come to your rescue.
Well, I hope he´s not so busy at a royal afternoon tea that he misses your cry for help.
Wouldn´t that be a pity?
