Charles gives US a parting shot

By Caroline Davies in San Francisco
(Filed: 09/11/2005)

San Francisco is the Prince of Wales's "kinda place". He loves its public transport, declaring yesterday: "I'm so glad you still have the wonderful evocative sounds of the trams."

That had not changed in the 29 years since the prince was last here, and made him "sad" that Britain had so few left.

He was, undoubtedly, thrilled when the mayor, Gavin Newsom, pointed out that his city had the best electrified public transport system in America and a fleet of 1,000 alternative fuel vehicles.

It is a city where "environment", "organic", "sustainable" - indeed all the buzz words that excite him - are common parlance.

The prince has many supporters here, so where best to deliver the most powerful speech of his tour than a seminar on "peak oil, climate change and business action"?

He pulled no punches, hardening a message he had hinted at during a banquet with President George W Bush at the White House last week.

He told a seminar at San Francisco's Ferry Building: "The environmental crisis we face is another situation in which I believe the United States could use its power and influence to help create a sense of unity in a common cause among disparate peoples and sectors of society."

An especially appreciative female member of the audience yelled: "Come and be our president."

The prince said: "We simply can't go on as we are. Somehow we have to find the courage to reassert the once commonplace belief that human beings have a duty to act as the stewards of creation."

Speaking at one of his final engagements before he and the Duchess of Cornwall return to Britain, the prince urged America to reshape its economy to help the environmental cause.

Go get a job you low life POS!

[dfwgator]

He ain't no human being.

At whose expense?

[Cicero]

Prince Charles and San Francisco were made for each other. Maybe if the Queen passes over him as her successor, he could run for mayor.

[dr_who_2]

No, just another out-of-touch (with reality) celebrity. Only he's particularly out of touch. Raised that way.

[ncountylee]

Hope he got to see some homeless bum take a dump on Market Street.

[decal]

Note to PC: We kicked your family out of this country once; don't make us do it again.

[frankjr]

"San Francisco is the Prince of Wales's "kinda place""

Which parts did Chuck and the Dutchess of Cornhole like the best? The constant stench of urine in the streets? Ths hobos taking dumps on the sidewalk? The other gay dudes?

[ExpatGator]

The future King is a Queen, which explains his political proclivities and his love of San Fagcisco.

[kcvl]

Go get a job you low life POS!

lol!

No kidding!

[manwiththehands]

What else does anyone expect from a "prince" who's never had a real job in his life?

[listenhillary]

Isn't that special oooo shut up Charlie

[veronica]

Pompous pampered fop.

[longfellow]

Shoulda been him in that car.......

[Paleo Conservative]

I'm sure glad we fired his ancestor back in 1776.

[Chi-townChief]

An especially appreciative female member of the audience yelled: "Come and be our president."

You have to wonder if she ever opened a history book.

[cynicom]

Chuck=human parasite

[Dog Gone]

The fact that it's universally understood that Prince Charles is dumber than a bag of hammers makes me feel good that he's delivering the far left's message.

[b4its2late]

HEY CHARLES, GO HOME AND

[Heatseeker]

My best friends are Welsh and I've gone back there to hang out in north Wales. The thing you hear most about the Prince of Wales is "he's not MY bloody prince!" ;)

[Hank Rearden]

Screw this bigeared dumbass and his new horse.

[paul51]

You have to wonder if she ever opened a history book

One could hope she doesn't vote although in SFO and California, I suspect she's actually part of quite a large voting block.

[maggief]

... and that horse you rode in on!

[listenhillary]

"The prince has many supporters here,"

In San Francisco? I don't doubt it a bit. A large part of the population probably fantasizes about being a supporter.

[hardworking]

"We simply can't go on as we are

"Yes, I say, Ole Girl, we s-i-m-m-m-p-l-y c-a-a-a-a-n-n-n-NOT go on without the right brand of yacht. Oh, ye-e-es, where is my walking stick, you know? Got to have my walking stick as I tend to my roses, you know, ole girl. Afterall, I've had to work so hard for everything we have..." BARF. Go home you lazy Britt.

[RushCrush]

What a pompous POS. He never got over the fact that he is only huge-eared ugly dude.

[Captain Peter Blood]

After seeing this idiot last Sunday on 60 Minutes I can only say that this pampered Royal has no real conception of what real life is all about and lives in such a protective and sheltered environment that he has no real idea how the World really works.
I would have to say that his IQ is really very low and he is just the sort of Liberal Elitist we despise in this country.
England itself is going down the tubes and how long before Muslim riots break out there.
60 years plus of European Socialism has brought them to this point and there are no real leaders left.
Charles as King with his Faustian Bride as Queen could and maybe should finally bring an end to the Monarchy although as a tourist attraction it is their only real moneymaker.

[Flux Capacitor]

Get the hell out of my country Chuck, you worthless, inbred trust-funder who's never even going to make it to the top of that insignificant monarchy that your "subjects" don't even consider to be worth the effort of dismantling. You guys lost it 230 years ago; you don't get to come back here and tell us how to run it. If you want to do something useful in the way of beautifying the environment, go find a good plastic surgeon for that wife of yours.

-Dan

[fat city]

No wonder the libs love this guy- he is a cuckold who lives on the public dole and who's kid is a substance abuser. He's so Oprah.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Anyone notice that while the good Prince and his wife were in the USA, there was a national celebration for Princess Diana back on the olde sod? Why do you think they were in the USA? So they didn't have to attend the Princess Diana gala. Mum took over duties for Prince Charles.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

I don't take advice from inbred wankers.

[Shanda]

At one time I sort of liked him then began to change my mind. Now I simply think he is an idiot. A sorry one at that.

[crazyhorse691]

An especially appreciative female member of the audience yelled: "Come and be our president."

The barking moonbats nominate someone new for president everyday. Charles should not look at this as something good.

[Dick Vomer]

reminds me of this "prince" of a fella

[blam]

"The fact that it's universally understood that Prince Charles is dumber than a bag of hammers.

I've read the same.

[Chong]

Yuck fou, you cheating horseface. You are an insult to all the tampons of the past or present, whether they were used for the intended purpose or not.

Go worry about your subjects and hug a tree and cry or something and we will worry about our citizens and our environment.

PS: Blair rocks. You should learn from him.

[garyhope]

What do you expect from a "fascist regime".

I loved the Pistols and later PIL. Actually PIL is one of my all time favorites.

[chinche]

Is regicide really a crime in a republic?

[Enchante]

"An especially appreciative female member of the audience yelled: "Come and be our president.""

More evidence that leftists never read the US Constitution..... but if she wants him for Mayor of San Francisco, I say go for it!! He won't be any worse than the usual S.F. politicians and maybe he'll find a Queen of his very own there who doesn't despise him the way his mother does!!

[Itzlzha]

San Francisco is the Prince of Wales's "kinda place".

Yup...where else could a rich fop who fantasizes about being a "tampon" feel right at home?

Here's a big STFU to the Princess of Wails...oh, btw; your slip is showing Charlie!

[Husker24]

You have to wonder if she ever opened a history book.

She probably has, she just thinks the bad guys won.

[garyhope]

Absolutely!

Diana had more class, compassion, heart and humanity in one finger than Charles has in all of his pampered, pompous, parasitical body

[Ghengis]

Something very ironic about one of the world's biggest trust fund babies -- who probably still has servants who wipe his bum -- preaching to citizens whose ancestors kicked his ancestors out of their lives due to the same behavior he's exhibiting now.

What do they say over there? Sod off?

[Blackyce]

Why all the vitriol? Geez. He's entitled to his opinion. Do you hate everyone you disagree with?

[listenhillary]

Just pompous *sses.

[Revolting cat!]

Do I get a sense that Prince Charles and his consort are not particularly popular here?

[Chong]

"Get the hell out of my country Chuck, you worthless, inbred trust-funder who's never even going to make it to the top of that insignificant monarchy that your "subjects" don't even consider to be worth the effort of dismantling.

Damn good post. NOW, do tell us how you really feel?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I'm sure Charles would be happy to see us all packed off like sardines while he motors in his own conveyance. Snob.

[NRA2BFree]

Go home Charles, and take that skank you're married to with you. You ain't jack here. In fact, the only 'royal' you are is a royal
travesty.

Every time you look at your sons, you can thank God that Diana was their mother and not that ho-hum Camilla, so take whatever you're selling and go home. We aren't interested. Oh-yes, one more thing, find a new consultant/designer/hair stylist/dentist/plastic surgeon for Camilla. She's in desperate need of a makeover. You Charles, could use one too.
