I learned this morning from Fox that the biggest no-no with the Queen is “no touching” - even to take her arm to assist her. That’s going to be hard for Pres. Bush, whose natural instinct seems to be to offer a hand (or arm) to people and who seems very comfortable with touching. I recall the photo of Pres. Bush assisting Robert Byrd a little while ago.

Be nice if they played "The World Turned Upside Down"
I presume "We" would not be amused.

>>I just hope she remembers that we kicked their butts.
I thought her eyes were going to pop out of her head when GW misspoke and said She helped us celebrate our bicentennial in “1776”.
For some reason, British Monarchs don’t like being reminded about 1776. Why is that?

I guess symbolism is in the eye of the beholder.
I saw Red. But thanks for the historical factoid.

I don’t mind being 40, but I think I’d be a little stuned if anyone suggested I was around in 1776. (Although it didn’t seem to bother President Reagan, bless his heart!)

At least it's just the Queen visiting the White House and not the British demolition remodelling crew again.

U.S. Army's Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps I used to live at Ft McNair in downtown DC where these guys are stationed. Very cool seeing them all the time. There was also a contingent of troops decked out as infantry of the time. The armory was hilarious with M-16s next to smoothbore muskets. Felt for the guys on those hot summer days reviewing for some visiting dignitary. Those wool outfits made more than a few fall out.

LOL. Now that’s funny. It didn’t even cross my mind she might have interpreted it that way.

Maybe he'll give her a back rub like he did with German PM Angela Merkel! Wouldn't that be a hoot!

If you were an Older Lady, I think you’d have immediately thought of it :-).

Well the Black Watch did burn the place to the ground in 1812.
