"In the first two days the couple will...take tea with Kofi Annan at the United Nations."

They're off to a bad start.

his charm offensive

That's an oxymoron.

Personally, I find him totally offensive.

I'm not sure why we should drool over some guy whose biggest accomplishment was being born.

I understand that there is a new awards program.

Joining ''The Upper-Middle-Class Twit of the Year Award'' is ''The Royal Twit of the Year Award''.

Charles is the certain winner.

Gracious, the creep and his slut are visiting us. Send the idiots back. We've got enough dummies and deadbeats inhabiting the US, some born, some "just visiting".

Hey Chuckles - how can we miss you if you won't go away?

And to hell with tradition. The sooner the British dump the "Royal" family the better. They do nothing but embarass.

Take what this Yank says with a grain of salt, but there are times when I wish that the Brits would do to the entire House of Hanover what they did to Charles I.

Hey Chuck, dont you know that Yanks could care less about the House of Windsor? We like Tony Blair and are grateful for the UK's support in the war but you "Royals" are only royal in your country. BTW, your father was a complete @$$.

You have no idea how much I agree with you.

The House of Stuart had very funny notions about being "proper" kings and sitting on the throne, ruling without Parliament. The House of Windsor has very funny notions about actually being all that important. Which apart from Her Majesty, they're not.

Regards, Ivan

WHy do you find him offensive?

I guess since I don't follow the British Royal family too closesly, I've always wondered why people seem to not like this guy.

Have you ever heard the twit attempt to answer questions from the press - or heard any of his "public" statements?

Or -- the captured telephone conversation when he informed Camilla that he would like to be her "tampax"?

The Prince is clearly the result of far too much inbreeding and birthright advantages..

He's a jerk.

Semper Fi

"...enthusiastically working the room as though on a campaign trail and expressing interest in what they were told about the mood in the US."

As ernest as Charles is about being taken seriously I wonder how different his turn about the room was from the riotous portrayal of just that sort of thing by John Cleese as Robinhood in the movie "Time Bandits"

Considering this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1511765/posts , you can't count me in the "he's an idiot" category.
