A “knighthood’ in British slang is a condom. Fitting!

Kennedy can not receive a title of nobility. It is unconstitutional. See above.

And here I was all pissed off and indignant at the way Obama had treated the PM this week.

I suspect the real reason The Fat Little Rich Kid is being honored is because his purchase of scotch over the years has helped the United Kingodm’s balance of trade immeasurably over the years. The “Ireland” thing is mere cover. Cheers!
