And even if she did, she'd keep it to herself.

exactly--that is an act of being socially graceful...

[latina4dubya]

yes—white tie is far more formal than black tie... i’ve seen President Bush dressed in white tie before... i think it was before he became President...

[latina4dubya]

“Senator Reid isn’t much of a white-tail-at-dinner kind of a guy”. No, quite apparently, he’s more the “turn tail and surrender” kind of a coward.

yes--more of a "waving-the-white-flag" kind of guy...

Is white tie a tux with a white tie?

[latina4dubya]

Is white tie a tux with a white tie?

it's black tails and trousers with a white vest and white tie... and white gloves, i believe... i think it looks really nice...

You said you were saddling the horses..... *sigh*

[advertising guy]

alright truce then but I have a diplomatic question maybe you can answer.......at a state dinner at the White House,is it ok to use more than “one square “ , you know , if necessary ? TIA

What is it about people from New York? They see Texas through the lens of Edna Ferber’s “Giant.”

[George W. Bush]

What is it about people from New York?

Robby, life is just too short to worry about the opinions of Old Europe and that uppity colony of theirs on our eastern seaboard.

[RobbyS]

My concern is that they think just like the ruling elites of Old Europe. That is why they want installed Hiliary as their mouthpiece or alternatively, a lackey like Obama.

President Bush has traveld to more nations and has met with more world leaders than any president in the history of the USA.

Really? Are you sure?

[Finalapproach29er]

The President of the United States is far and away the most powerful person on the planet.

Not according to TIME. lmao

[LaineyDee]

I think at a State Dinner, you wouldn’t want to discuss it. It would be gauche. :)

[advertising guy]

gauche squared ?

[LaineyDee]

Something like that. *chuckle*

This isn't the first time the President has worn a white-tie tux with the Queen.

President George W. Bush and Laura Bush arrive with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, for a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2003

ABC radio news reports there is a run on white ties in tux rental stores around DC creating a shortage.

[Quilla]

He looks like the perfect gentleman to me.

She’s a queen wherever she goes. She’s just not OUR queen. But I agree: no American should curtsy or bow to a foreign Royal.

[miss marmelstein]

As a New Yorker, I’ve always wanted to visit Texas BECAUSE of “Giant”! Good book, great picture. I have yet to visit your great state but when I do I’m going to spend at least a month traveling all over and seeing it for myself.
