The authors of this piece seem to have their noses so high in the air, they’d drown if it rained hard.

But I bet they put their feet up on the coffee table at home, too.

Oh, yeah, talking with his mouth full and snappin’ towels, those are always the first things I think of when I think of GWB.

It’s the NYT people. This story was posted yesterday and linked to their subsidiary, the International Herald Tribune, edited and printed in Paris and “enlightening readers by describing the world beyond their everyday horizons”.

Could they be more pretentious or less relevant?

What a dippy article ! I really dislike the NYT. As some here noted The Queen did not visit during the clinton administration, but has visited both the Bush administrations.

I found the snottiness of the article to be just wonderful ! So very entertaining.

They write about Bush as if he’s some kinda yahoo in THIS article, but then talk about his aristocratic roots when that works against him. His parents were both born into VERY upper-crusty society when that meant something. They moved to TX to avoid all that, but I’d bet ‘Bar’ made sure each of her kids knows what a fish fork is and how to use it.

No mention of the white trash that used to occupy the White House. How did we ever miss knowing that Nancy Pelosi is always elegant? Notice the Queen has the good sense to come to the US only when there’s a Republican president ?

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Any son of Barbara Bush does not need etiquette lessons. Bet George and Jeb received plenty at her table, and a few cuffings whenever they forgot their manners!

My, what a snide article. I’m surprised she didn’t say he drank out of the toilet.

“Senator Reid isn’t much of a white-tail-at-dinner kind of a guy”. No, quite apparently, he’s more the “turn tail and surrender” kind of a coward.

Of course President Bush formally bows to the ladies....the Queen and First Lady. I see nothing wrong with good manners and a show of respect for the tradition of others.
