TERRIBLE STORIES

Does The Queen HATE Black Michelle Obama?

No, and if you’re wondering why your Wonkette has been posting stupid pictures and contests all day it’s because most of the “news reports” have been about how Michelle Obama, an Uppity piece of awful trash, “touched” (/shared a mutual quarter-hug with) old Queen Elizabeth, the divine ruler of the British Commonwealth. We hate to GO THERE but it would be nice if news organizations stopped being so racist sometimes. The Queen was not in danger (MAYBE). [YouTube]

    lies! the queen was clearly going for an ass squeeze and then lost her nerve.

  2. 4tehlulz says at 8:59 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    WHY DOES QUEEN ELIZABETH’S SPOKES”PERSON” HAET QUEEN ELIZABETH?

  3. It’s not the DARKNESS that threatened the Queen, it’s that she’s a secret socialist Muslin.

  4. comradepaulson says at 9:00 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Maybe The Queen was choking on a huge diamond and the Michelle was touching her back to help get the diamond out?

    Or maybe Michelle is a Black Panther Sleeper Cell and was going to finally stab Whitey? (And how can you get more “Whitey” than the Queen.)

    Or maybe she was killing a bug on the Queens back?

    Or maybe our news media is a giant douche-sack?

  5. Cicada says at 9:01 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Yay stupid non-news stories! It makes me feel like I’m living in pre-Greatish Depression world. Remember Anna Nicole Smith’s death? Yeah, me neither.

    Good times, good times.

  6. cranky says at 9:02 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    i really enjoyed watching barack and michelle treat her like a nice old lady. it was such an amusing mixture of reverence for her and affection for the unbelievably old.

  7. Zadig: *it’s that MICHELLE’s a secret socialist Muslin.

    Curse my unclear pronoun usage. The Internet Sheriff is already demanding I turn in my Grammar Deputy’s badge. At the disciplinary hearing I’ll probably argue that I can’t rule out Her Royal Highness being a horrible librul jihad subversive.

  8. Nerdalicious says at 9:08 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Prez & the Mrs. should have given Queen a silver framed picture of an IPod.

    Later on,Queen had to be given oxygen, because a strange lady dare touch her royalness. And that’s the rest of the story ~Paul Harvey

  9. Cicada says at 9:09 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    I don’t think you guys understand why people are so upset.
    People aren’t supposed to touch the Queen because she’s FRAGILE. Do you have any idea how thin old-people skin is? It’s like tissue paper! You can tear a hole in it by blowing on it too hard. Also, her skeleton is made of matchsticks. Michelle could have broken a rib, easy.

  10. Mahousu says at 9:09 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Zadig: No, you were right the first time. They’re both secret socialist Muslins, and were exchanging terrorist back touches. Plus recipes for baba ganoush, but that’s only borderline terrorist.

  11. Jesus, is the Queen some kind of royal, inbred dwarf, or is Michelle eleven feet tall? Or both?

  12. Cicada: This is exacerbated by the fact that compared to the Queen and basically everyone else in British government, the Obamas are from some mutated strain of Homo Giganticus. Hell, that goes for their car, too.

  13. Cicada says at 9:15 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Josh Fruhlinger: The Queen is eleventy-billion years old. Old people shrink. Michelle is a tall drink of water, also.

  14. grevillea says at 9:15 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Cicada: Plus, what if she got anal poisoning? That can be serious for the oldsters.

  15. Texan Bulldoggette says at 9:16 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Did someone tell HRH that once you go black, you never go back? (Be scared, Phillip, be very scared.)

  16. 2druk2phluq says at 9:17 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Queen: “The servants entrance is in the… Oh. Uh-oh.”
    Awkward.

  17. OReillysVibrator says at 9:19 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    England still having a queen, and Detroit still hosting a Thanksgiving football game, are the 2 poster children for abolishing stupid traditions.

  18. 2druk2phluq: And then Michelle poisoned her Majesty’s anus.

  19. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:20 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    From the upcoming memoir, Our Life in Service by HRH Queen Elizabeth II:

    It was then that the mighty Negress reached down towards us like an Ethiopian Goddess from the sky. We immediately went flushed, as we felt feelings stir inside that we had not felt since we first learned to ride horses in our youth. We knew then that we must have her, if only for one night, before we leave the throne.

  20. Lionel Hutz Esq.: I was going to make some comment about a thrill going up Liz’s leg, but fuck that. Congratulations on your eternal conquest of the Internets. Your goody bag full of TruckNutz will be with the doorman.

  21. Come here a minute says at 9:23 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    “Now we’ve met, will you please keep in touch.”

    Her royal highness not only gone black, she’s gone gay! The Obamas are making everyone gay marry, world wide! Wake up, SHEEPLE.

  22. grevillea says at 9:23 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Texan BulldoggetteLionel Hutz Esq.: : It’s Her Majesty, people! HRH is for lesser princely beings.

  23. comradepaulson says at 9:23 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    OReillysVibrator: Hey, I’m all for kicking the Monarchy to the curb, but please don’t take the Thanksgiving game away from us. We need that. I’m sure by the time Thanksgiving roles around, things around here will have gotten to the point where we’ll be roasting the players over an open fire for food. And that will be very entertaining for all of you to watch on TV.

  24. MC_Bob says at 9:24 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    As an American of Norwegian descent whose ancestors:

    (1) Raped and pillaged England whenever they felt like it, and:
    (2) Kicked 18 kinds of dog crap out of England in two wars and saved their asses in WW II,

    don’t give a fuck about protocol regarding the in-breeder who happens to be King/Queen of England at the moment.

  25. fuckinredneck says at 9:26 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    I am so full of RAGE that my Queen was touched. Freddie Mercury deserves better. Oh wait, different Queen? OK — she can touch that old broad as much as she likes.

  26. Cicada says at 9:27 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    grevillea: Zadig: I have been away from the internet and Teevee for a few days and missed that particular little Rush nugget o’goodness. And yes, I did just google “anal poisoning”.

  27. Bearbloke says at 9:29 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: “…but We mus’nt disturb the horses…”

  28. fuckinredneck: It’s not like Freddie Mercury would have been interested anyway.

    Bearbloke: WHAT? Fuck no. That shit goes down ON HORSEBACK.

  29. Dientes says at 9:32 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Michelle is just getting back at her for having Princess Diana killed.

  30. cranky says at 9:33 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Michelle is the AA Mr Rogers.

  31. Bearbloke says at 9:34 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    MC_Bob: But, what about the Queen’s equally in-bred 2nd cousin, King Harald V of Norway (#62 in line for old Lizzie’s ass throne)?

  32. Bearbloke says at 9:36 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Cicada: Did you get a picture of Rush, or of his audience?

  33. Bearbloke: Probably one of Rush giving his audience rancid bums.

  34. Heywood Floyd says at 9:40 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    “Tongues wagging across the pond.”

  35. Bearbloke says at 9:40 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Zadig: Speaking as some who has fucked on horseback, I can say it
    made learning to ride (and learning to fall the right way) wayyyyy worth it!

  36. comradepaulson says at 9:41 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Come here a minute: Win. For giving the Queen the black AND teh gay.

  37. StrangelyBrown says at 9:42 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    I think the real question here is: Does the Queen want to climb Michelle Obama like a redwood?

  38. SayItWithWookies says at 9:43 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    I love how we can both pride ourselves on being the most (ahem) egalitarian society in the entire world and at the same time spend a whole day in a tizzy over whether it’s allowed for mere commoners to touch the queen. Like we think you get struck by lightning for defiling the last of the divinely appointed monarchs.

    Yes, it’s true America — it is forbidden to touch the queen. She’s not even allowed to touch the ground, you know. She rides around that huge palace in a velvet palanquin carried by blind eunuchs who have every inch of the floor plan memorized. As she is about to alight, a young virgin girl races before her, spreading a trail of spider silk, lily petals and saffron before her to carpet the vulgar Italian marble.

    So above mere humanity is the queen that she is not even aware that she has an ass. Such a word in her presence would have shattered like a banana in liquid nitrogen, so it could never be explained to her. So each time she defecates, she believes she is actually performing a meditation ritual over a chalice of holy water. As soon as she is done, a ten-year-old boy with wings grafted onto his shoulders distracts her by playing the harp, and as she stands up in delight, trained hummingbirds furtively wipe her behind.

    Now you see what a delicate situation Mrs. Obama has put the queen in. It may be confusing if she finds out that a mere commoner could touch her and not turn into a pillar of salt. What to do? I know — we’ll just tell her she touched Mrs. Obama first. It worked before. Remember on her wedding night when we told her “he’s not really touching you if you’re singing ‘God Save the Queen’ in your head?” Heh, heh.

  39. President Beeblebrox says at 9:44 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Bearbloke: Screw that. I want to see Queen Zara, who’s only #12 in line. And she’s not even a Papist.

  40. Cicada says at 9:45 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Bearbloke: Rush. Also this:

    http://www.dr-dan.com/images/Dan/AnalSacDisease.JPG

    I can’t tell the difference between the two, really.

  41. Bearbloke says at 9:46 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: That dried-up hack Lyn Cheney is incredibly bitter about the superior quality of your hot juicy interracial lezzie slash porn - next stop, Penthouse!

  42. grevillea says at 9:49 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Bearbloke: “You’ve got it all wrong, son. You’re supposed to RIDE the horse to town, so you can fuck a PROSTITUTE.”

  43. Bearbloke says at 9:50 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Cicada: Jeezus! Why are you sending me a picture of Rush - you’re ruining my brunch!

  44. Vulpes82 says at 9:52 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    I love how American reporters and rightwing crazies, who wouldn’t know protocol if it came up and slapped the dicks out of their mouths, think this is a SCANDAL when the Queen and her various moldering courtiers/walking protocol encyclopedias don’t see a problem. God forbid Michelle touch Her Majesty! I mean, *gasp* she can’t trace her roots to Alfred the Great and/or Charlemagne, so she’s nothing more than a filthy commoner (read “uppity negress”). Who does she think she is, the wife (or “consort” in royal-speak) of the most powerful head of state in the world?

    I also love how totally the Queen fell in love with the Obamas after about ten seconds. After Dubya and his Drug-Zombie Wife, anyone else must feel a relief.

  45. comradepaulson says at 9:53 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: We ain’t her fucking subjects, we’re citizens. Technically, we can touch her as much as we want to ’cause SHE HAS NO POWER OVER US. THAT’S WHAT THE FUCKING REVOLUTION AND BOSTON TEA-BAGGING WAS ALL ABOUT!!! I DON’T KNOW WHY I’M SHOUTING!! TELEPROMPTERSSSS!!!!

  46. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:57 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    OT but this is a terribly offensive and funny animation about Easter:
    http://www.shortsshortsshorts.com/?p=1592

    SayItWithWookies: AND SHE SHOULD PAY TO VOTE DARNIT. THIS GOVERNMENT’S DRIVING OUR WHITES DOWN THE DARN TOOBZZ.

  47. Bearbloke says at 9:58 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    President Beeblebrox: Dude, give it up! Zara’s never gonna give you another Cleveland Steamer no matter how much you compliment her…

  48. grevillea says at 10:01 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    comradepaulson: Cool, I’ll be over in 5 to touch you all I want! Technically, if you don’t want it, it’s assault, but hey we’re all citizens here, right?

  49. Dreamer says at 10:04 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    I really think the old queen wanted a terrorist fist bump but Mrs O did not get the signal.

  50. President Beeblebrox says at 10:09 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    “Piyush, go shoo that blackamoor off our porch, there’s a good lad.”

  51. gliberal says at 10:09 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    That freakish inbred little gnome has no business touching M’shell. That’s how people lose their hands.

  52. grevillea says at 10:10 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts: Quit whoring out your blasphemous, puerile, awesome blog, you pimper you.

  53. President Beeblebrox says at 10:11 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Bearbloke: Akshually, I was hoping for another Cincinnati Bowtie from her.

  54. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 10:11 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    grevillea: So, Prince is HRH, but Freddy Mercury is HM?

  55. CaliforniaMike says at 10:11 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    StrangelyBrown: Considering that Liz2 hasn’t had teh sex since 1952, it was a very strange moment. Also, pretty sure it’s the first time a wog ever touched her.

  56. smellyal8r says at 10:12 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    At least this is better than that “shoulder rub” that Bush gave to Angela Merkel. Plus, on a positive note, the Queen reported that her sore middle back was now feeling “healed”. Hmmm….

  57. wheelie says at 10:14 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    A few years ago, there was a mini-scandal when the Australian PM threw his arm around old Lizzie Windsor aka The Queen. I’m not a Subject of the Old Cow, but as I recall, the deal is that blokes should not fondle Her Maj, but certain Elite Ladies may grope her if they wish.

    As far as I am concerned, Michelle could gob on Lizzie’s shoes for all I care. That’s not an anti-British thing, it’s just that as a citizen of a constitutional Republic, I could not give a f*ck about special etiquette is treating these supposed elites.

    Fuck the Queen, is what I’m trying to say.

    IRELAND! IRELAND! IRELAND! etc

  58. spandrelmatic says at 10:15 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Bearbloke: Bareback, one assumes.

  59. Nerdalicious says at 10:17 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    I just heard an old Queen gaffe on the TeeVee….The best evah!
    Stupid klutz Prez Ford (rip), asked Queen to dance back in 1975, & the band struck up:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmMyFCXIp0Q
    Yes, you heard it! “The Lady Is A Tramp”
    Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
    That makes the Mrs. gaffe zero/nothing

  60. wheelie says at 10:18 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    wheelie: Moran. “could not give a f*ck about special etiquette in treating these supposed elites.” I regret this flaw in my rant. RANT! RANT! RANT! etc.

  61. comradepaulson says at 10:19 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    grevillea: Technically, it wouldn’t be assault, because assault is the apprehension of immediate touch that is harmful or offense. It would be battery. Battery is an intentional touching that is harmful or offensive. But I wouldn’t press charges or file a suit, because I’d only get nominal damages and the court costs would most likely be more than the damages. Besides, I’m always ready to be touched by any Wonketter. I trust all of you have washed your hands.

  62. Bearbloke says at 10:20 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    President Beeblebrox: Is that where she tittyfucks you with her strap-on? I just can’t keep up with you kids today…

  63. iwillsavethispatient says at 10:23 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    wheelie: Now that’s the kind of republicanism I like! I don’t dislike her as person, I just dislike her as a concept.

    Incidentally, it’s weird to think that it was an Austrian PM and not Berlisconi who broke such etiquette rules.

  64. Bearbloke says at 10:23 pm, April 2nd, 2009
  65. comradepaulson says at 10:24 pm, April 2nd, 2009

  66. Snarxon's Holler says at 10:33 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Did you notice how quickly Liz yanks her hand back after touching Michelle’s derriere?

    It don’t just look hot, apparently.

  67. One Yield Regular says at 10:42 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    I am appalled - APPALLED - that that someone so clearly ill-bred and uncouth could DARE to put her hand on our Michelle.

    I expect to see the UK ambassador in my office tomorrow morning.

  68. rocktonsammy says at 10:51 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Shelly is taller than others of the G-19.

    I like that.

    The freepers are going nuts over a picture of Obama seeming to bow before King Saud:

  70. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 10:56 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    All I can say is that Michelle is going to catch a head cold, because there is going to be a lot of happy hugging and kissing tonight. (and other stuff)

  71. Bearbloke says at 10:57 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    wheelie: I’m with you! Fuck Monarchy. I once spent an evening (during a close-quarters bus trip) mercilessly ridiculing a couple of Australian guys about the then-recent nation-wide vote they took to finally rid themselves of their Distant Overlord, only to experience national FAIL when everybody wimped out and voted ‘no’ to democracy, republicanism, and freedom.

    Here’s a tune for you: Class War’s “Better Dead than Wed”, one of my all time FAVORITE pieces of musically-seditious (anti-monarchy) poltical propaganda… how can one not love a line that proclaims “my dancing shoes are being saved for dancing on a Royal mass grave!” - Enjoy!

  72. boy_howdy says at 11:10 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Nerdalicious: Better that than the time Hu-Jintao was in town and the band struck up the Taiwanese national anthem. That was a scary moment–a gaffe’s a gaffe, but you don’t wanna piss off Daddy Warbucks.

    Remember the first time Bush called on the queen? He brought along his own chefs (the UK press had a field day with “the five fajita fillers”) on the assumption that the food in Buckingham Palace was bound to suck, so he’d better have his own vittles. (”Yo, Blair! Mmmpf… smak… bring me some mmwwwmf more rolls!”)

    Try as she might, Michelle and her voodoo hands will never have quite the same grip on the world’s affections. Whenever Junior wasn’t tugging on Hu’s sleeve, he was groping Angela Merkel or kissing King Abdullah. He never could keep his paws to himself, whenever they let him out to play. (Not unlike Upchuck on MTV’s Daria.)

  73. prime ministress says at 11:14 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    In Canada it is still a criminal offense to “alarm her majesty”. I shit you not - section 49 of the criminal code. The mounties will be waiting at the Black House upon Michelle’s return.

  74. jagorev says at 11:17 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    Doesn’t count. This statement was obviously made under duress, because Rahm Emanuel was standing by with a chef’s knife.

  75. HomoPolitico says at 11:35 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    You think that was a gaffe, wait until see the palaces return gifts.

    Lets just say, loose shoes was one of the items.

  76. NoWireHangers says at 11:51 pm, April 2nd, 2009

    A touch from Michelle won’t really get the job done. Had Barry touched The Queen she would have lived another 50 years.

  77. obfuscator says at 12:00 am, April 3rd, 2009

    I would have preferred a Royal Fist Bump.

  78. imissopus says at 12:00 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Zulus! Thousands of ‘em!

    Shout-out to Aliza, who knows what I’m talking about.

  79. Cicada says at 12:05 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Canmon (the Inadequate): I always forget that no amount of riffing on NOOBAMA THE EVIL MUSLIN on Wonkette can ever compare to the genuinely scary/hilarious freeper posts.

    You just can’t parody them because it is impossible to go to far. They have already done it, and crazier to boot.

    My fave was the Obama bowing to Saud + Obama not placing his hand over his heart for the anthem = 9/11!!!!!!!!!!

    Jeepers!

  80. Neilist says at 12:06 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Trust me.

    The English know what to do when someone like Michelle starts coming:

    (Even if the bloody Poms have to rely on the Welsh to do all the heavy lifting.)

    “At 100 yards! Volley fire! Present!”

    imissopus: Damn you, sir! Damn you! You beat me to it.

    iwillsavethispatient: Bearbloke: It was the Australian PM not Austrian. And you, Bearbloke, leave Her Majesty’s criminals alone or we’ll send you to Van Dieman’s Land.

  83. grevillea says at 12:15 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Bearbloke: No to democracy and freedom? Not quite. You’ve got to remember that in a parliamentary system the head of state is pretty much a figurehead. And the proposal that went to the vote was to replace the Queen with a president elected by parliament. In essence: dump Her Maj in favour of some retired hack the current govt wishes to reward. Most people just said, bugger it, at least the Queen is non-partisan, if we can’t vote directly just leave it the way it is. Oh well, break’s over, back down the Royal Saltmine…

  84. imissopus says at 12:23 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Cicada: Are we sure he was bowing? Maybe he just lost a contact.

  85. Capricatony says at 12:23 am, April 3rd, 2009

    If Guiding Light can come to an end, so can the succession of inbreds.

  86. comradepaulson says at 12:24 am, April 3rd, 2009

    iwillsavethispatient: Yeah, its not about her personally, for sure. The most annoying thing about it is the Americans who go ga-ga over the monarchy. It’s very ironic, historically, that the country that threw off the King with violence and bloodshed put Princess Di on the cover of People 10 billion times. Again, nothing personal against Princess Di or anything. I just like my meaningless celebrities to be elevated in a more fair way: who gave the casting agent the best blow job.

  87. Mr Blifil says at 12:25 am, April 3rd, 2009

    It’s pretty obvious that the spokesperson is fisting the Queen.

  88. confederette libtard says at 12:29 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Not near as much as conservative American’s hate her, which makes her all the more luscious.
    Who knew conservatives were such bastions of etiquette when it comes to the British monarchy and brown people? Not to mention, I just saw Obama on the Ice Fairy Anderson Cooper’s show, and Obama had a FOLDED BUNCH OF PAPERS AT THE PODIUM!!!!
    WHERE IS TEH TELEPROMPTER?!?!?!?!?
    How can he orchestrate world socialism/peace with out teh TELEPROMPTER!?!?!!??!
    He’s a communist, this proves it. He’s tryin to git mah gun. I need to pray, goddamnit.

  89. Cmon, the Queen was just showing relief and appreciation given her most recent recollection of such meetings:

    In other news, Senator Patrick Leahy said “We don’t really care about all the torture and stuff. In fact, we rather preferred being the minority party and taking it up the butt all the time. And, that time that Dick Cheney told me to go fuck myself? Well, I did.”

    Bearbloke: Let’s just say that a turd wrapped in a flag is still a turd.

    Canmon (the Inadequate): ZOMG. The freepers’ comments…
    I can only tip my hat to the guy who has just come up with this magical equation:

    Obama not putting his hand on his heart + Obama leaning over to a Saudi = 9/11.

    You can’t bottle that crazy.

  98. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:41 am, April 3rd, 2009

    iwillsavethispatient: But you can market it.

    iwillsavethispatient: Ahhhh, but they’ve finally got the offending country right, despite themselves. Bawdy Ababia didn’t used to have anything to do with 9/11, it was simply the place where Jesusland goes to buyz teh oilz.

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Are you by any chance channeling Jim Ward from the Stephanie Miller Show?

    Bearbloke:
    Go hug the queen!
    We mean it, man!

  103. Just to let you know that a former prime minister of Australia, Paul Keating was lambasted by all and sundry (especially sundry) for putting his arm around HM Q2 (guiding her into a room rather than giving her a hug) when she visited Australia in 1992. He earned the nickname Lizard of Oz.

  104. thebeatgoeson says at 2:10 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Bearbloke: Well howdeedo!

  105. iwillsavethispatient says at 2:29 am, April 3rd, 2009

    tug: Guiding is a lot more uppity than hugging. Ironic, huh?

    Rumours from the Guardian’s commenters:
    1) The Queen initiated the hug
    2) Apparently the Duke asked Obama what he;d been doing and he said: “meeting President Hu of China and President Medvedev of Russia”, to which the Duke replied: “Can you tell the difference between them?”

  106. gurukalehuru says at 5:36 am, April 3rd, 2009

    President Hu?

  107. Jean Hotman, Marquis de Villers-St-Paul says at 6:03 am, April 3rd, 2009

    I’m all for monarchy as long as it produces Royal Heirs in a Swedish style.

    imissopus: Remember Rorke’s Drift! Remember Isandlwana!

    Send a dispatch rider to Ben Disraeli! The bloody wogs have overrun Grosvenor Place and the Mews, taken down the Wellington Arch and are flanking the New Guard along Constitution Hill pathway!

    Oh, never mind…

  109. What century is this, again? I forget.

    Besides, I’d hug someone who just gave me an iPod, too.

  110. Also, what does QEII have to do with Divine?

    And the MSM can all GO TO HELL, GO TO HELL AND DIE for being in a tizzy over this. It’s like the Paris Hilton news stories of our day.

  111. Johnny Zhivago says at 6:46 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Michelle should have walked up to Queenie, bitchslapped her and said “that was for Diana, you miserable old cokney slut”

    Canmon (the Inadequate): “No President of the US should bow down to any foreign leader. If anything they should bow to us. We have save much of the world over the years of our existence and we should never show subservient to anyone.”

  114. hoosiermama says at 7:27 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Johnny Z.: Michelle has that look on her face that says “I’m about to haul off and bitch slap you” anyway, so it would have worked. And she would have looked fabulous doing it!

  115. thebaker says at 7:35 am, April 3rd, 2009

    wish i could haul off and smack Miss Piggy Noonington. Snobby bitch

  116. WABishop says at 8:07 am, April 3rd, 2009

    gurukalehuru: Who is the president of China?

  117. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 8:08 am, April 3rd, 2009

    DC Hates Me: Thandie Newton! C’mon man, that is just plain wrong. Angela Basset plays Michelle Obama. She has the arms for the job. See “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” for clarification.

  118. Schadenfried says at 9:33 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Canmon (the Inadequate): Really? Wasn’t Bush tossing King Saud’s salad for oil during his Administration.

  119. Schadenfried says at 9:35 am, April 3rd, 2009

    Zadig: But this is Michelle we’re talking about, Freddie might mistake her for “Supermodel of the World”, Ru Paul.

  120. Josh Fruhlinger:

    Did you see the photo with all four of them, Barry, Michelle, Queen, and Prince Phillip? For some reason I thought Phillip, bastition of ethnic tolerance that he is, was a tall man. Nope. Evidently, the Queen is the approximate height of a garden gnome and he could have considered a career as a jockey.

  121. Origami says at 9:57 am, April 3rd, 2009

    The wingnuts and idiots on the teevee are upset not because this is a breach of some old fashioned protocol they just heard of, but because a NEGRESS (aka A BLACK WOMAN) touched a WHITE ANGEL (aka A WHITE WOMAN). Next thing you know, dainty white ladies will be greeted by their black female acquaintances with hugs and maybe even French/Muslin kisses on the cheek! The horror of benign human contact! WE MUST PROTECT OUR WOMEN.

  122. Americans will never understand Royalty.
    Don’t touch the Queen !

  123. Custersdeadhorse says at 3:20 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    Josh Fruhlinger: Michelle is 5′11″ according to some news report I read recently.

    Michelle hugged Her Royal Highness while stating that when she tires of being First Lady in America she intends to assume the throne and rule Britannia. Hillary will takeover Bosnia, also!

  124. JSDC007 says at 6:23 pm, April 3rd, 2009

    The old Queen is now bless-ed.

    The texture of her arms will no longer resemble Yorkshire pud, but shall be firm and ripe and youthful like the buttocks of her grandson, Hot Prince Ginge.
