To: plain talk

It was shocking enough that he wasn’t briefed on the royal protocol. It was compounded further by speaking over the host countries National Anthem! What did he think? The band was just playing a cute tune while he gave his glowing oration? Imagine the Prime Minister coming here and talking over our National Anthem.

The media is trying to cover for this wretched breach of protocol... he completely flubbed the Loyal Toast. The moment you say, "To the Queen," that is the orchestra's cue to begin.

In this YouTube link, you can hear a little bit of what he was saying right before he proposed his toast and said, "To Her Majesty, the Queen." The orchestra cued up just as they were supposed to do, while Il Douche paused to glance down at his cue cards and then prattle over the top of the music. Classic, classic Uber-screwup... and the press is trying to cover for him, even editing out the comments prior to his toast.

I bet he thought they were playing “My country tis of thee” just for him!
