Live and let Di? ... Mark Steyn
Washington Times ^ | 7 Oct 2007 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 10/08/2007 8:00:54 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Last week, a London court began pondering the vexed question of whether Diana, Princess of Wales was, ahem, murdered. There was so much public suspicion, declared the coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, that it was time for the rumors to be either "dispelled or substantiated."

So who killed her? On the night of Diana's death, there were apparently two top agents for MI6, the British secret service, on the loose in Paris, and possibly a third, if you believe Henri Paul, the chauffeur, was also on the spooks' payroll. That's the theory of Mohammed Fayed, Messr. Paul's employer and father of the princess' last boyfriend Dodi. Mr. Fayed asserts Diana at the time of her death was carrying Dodi's baby, and thus the car crash was arranged because Buckingham Palace decided it would be unacceptable for Prince William, the future king, to have a Muslim step-brother, a Muslim stepdad, and a soon-to-be-Muslim mom.

‘Her conduct was trashy and not befitting of a princess or a lady. I believe that is a fair concluion to draw, I do not find name-calling fair or appropriate.’

You don’t see the irony of this line, do you?

She got into a car with a drunk driver, and she didn’t wear a seatbelt. Explain to me the difference between this scenario and what happens everyday in America? All she is a victim of is making poor choices.

Her behavior was trashy and inappropriate. I’m not calling the woman “trash.”

The whole slut and whore name-calling stuff is wrong. If you think it’s a-ok then that’s your business...I happen to disagree.

This much is so overlooked in all of this...drunk driver, no seatbelt, reckless driving...a deadly mix that unfortunately happens every day, everywhere...

Well, I haven't heard ti say "You Conservatives" yet, but there is a definite split between the sexes, vis Chuck & Diana. The ladies are all over what a creep we must have known Charles to be, and the men desperately want to not have to give a rat's patootie about "The Royals" because they're all an idiotic anachronism these days.

How did they ask Henri Paul? Didn't he die in the accident?

‘Her behavior was trashy and inappropriate. I’m not calling the woman “trash.”’

Seems a very narrow distinction, but okay. Personally, I think Brit Spears is the personafication of ‘trash’ but too each their own.

“The whole slut and whore name-calling stuff is wrong.”

How many men did she sleep with after getting married?

” If you think it’s a-ok then that’s your business...I happen to disagree.’

I think its accurate, but I can understand it if you find it uncomfortable.

I’ve always thought Prince Charles was a clod. And I’ve never understood how a twenty something Diana didn’t see it clearly before getting engaged, let alone ‘married’ to the guy.

Since they got married, I know way way way more than I would like about her, him, them, and their families, their kids, their respective lover’s, those that like them, those that hate them, and those that make money off of everybody but...me, it seems.

How any Brit didn’t understand the Prince would have a ‘mistress/concubine’ is beyond reasonable thought. Its not like this historical ‘norm’ isn’t taught in schools. Isn’t discussed in the papers, books, movies, etc.

Finally, anyone that still has any doubt about Prince Chuckie’s intelligence, the fact he would rather be with ‘The Rottweiller’ than the naive, but well built Diana in the sack should have cleared up that question years ago.

Women love the clothing, shoes, hats, all the good stuff. I have my favorite photo of you in a tux. Why is that my favorite? Men and women are different. Period.

You're not in trouble yet, young man!

Whew!

Having an argument over "The Royas" would have to be the most pointless thing ever done.

Di was a gorgious woman scorned, while Charles was old enough to know better than to ruin her life. I suspect Di did as well as she could, but good heavens.........one of her closet, er closest friends was elton john? And ANY man who prefers that gosh awful camilla to his lovely young wife was nuts. Money IS the root of all evil...........they had too much of it to have any cents, er sense.

You know and I know that Pricess Dianna married down. She was a Spencer with more royal blood than the Windsors who wallowed in from Germany years ago.

Princess Dianna should have had Chuckie beheaded years prior, heck, behead the whole fricking family.
