But you know, maybe that wouldn't be so bad. I'd rather take Queen Elizabeth over Obama for the next 4 years. The problem is how are we going to get rid of her before she kicks the royal bucket and we get stuck with King Charles III (he who bays at the moon, and turned down Diana for Camillia).
Totally agree.
p.s. Diana had what could politely be called issues.
Diana was high maintenance.
The way I see it, this joke will act as an acid test as to whether someone who dislikes America is a leftist or a contratarian. Surely a lot of foreigners would find the 2000 version funny, but this time the butt of this joke is a leftist Barack Obama. Are they going to keep the laugh, or going to hiss at this joke?
My prediction is that a genuine leftist like Ken Livingstone and Helen Clark (New Zealand) will be outraged by this joke but amused by the 2000 version, but contratarians will cheer at this joke as well.
