I got it. I really got it early on, but I am a stubborn Southerner, and it was so very embarrassing for the president that I felt sorry for him. I was ignorant of the protocol involved in giving a toast to the Queen. He really flubbed it. To me, this event is worse than President Bush vomiting on whomever in Japan or China back in 1991ish. I don’t remember George W. Bush doing anything remotely this embarrassing. But I could be misremembering. lol I apologize for being so ignorant. Thankfully, I do not have to toast the Queen of England or even stand in her presence. I’m sure I would embarrass myself. :)

You don't have a protocol staff briefing you before events. Bammi does; and he ignores them.

The unfortunate target was Japan's Prime Minister. Afterwards, the President collapsed to the floor. He had been extremely sick and a rational person should realize he was really blameless. Not being remotely rational, the eneMedia was torn between Outrage and Estacy.

Well, he choked on a pretzel and that proves he's really, really stupid. /SARC

Not ignorant, just uninformed. We all come to FR to cure that condition!

Well at least BO and MO didn’t put their hands on the queen like they did last time they were there. Remember when you meet the Queen of England don’t touch her. :D
