The Queen "had" to come to the United States. Her visit was to repay the invitation to Bush to visit jolly old England after Bush and Blair invaded Iraq. Bush was, and is, about as popular in England as a skunk at a garden party, but the Queen made the best of it and had him over. I’m sure she delayed her return visit as long as possible, but this is the last year available. Next year is election year — a very bad year to come.
Last time the Queen was over was when George H. W. Bush was president. Young George sat at the end of the table, but still managed to cause trouble. "I’m the black sheep of my family," he said. "Who’s yours?"
"None of your business," replied the Queen.
I wonder what they talked about this time.
