British officials, meanwhile, admit that the White House and US State Department staff were utterly bemused by complaints that the Prime Minister should have been granted full-blown press conference and a formal dinner, as has been customary. They concede that Obama aides seemed unfamiliar with the expectations that surround a major visit by a British prime minister.

Erm ... pardon me, but isn't the State Department headed up by *the smartest woman in the world* -- you know, the one who has *thiry-five years of experience, counts eight years as the wife of a president as qualification to hold the position*?? HILARY CLINTON AND HER MINIONS don't know what the expectations that surround a major visit by a British prime minister are??

As we would put it when we were kids, "Smooth move, Ex-lax."
