"Finally, after two straight presidents who didn't appreciate the taste of a fine French burgundy, Buckingham Palace tonight had a chance to put on the Ritz for a first family who enjoy a long dinner and luscious wine."

Or maybe they just weren't so arrogant, and out of touch with the peasants.

If Ronald Reagan had done this during a recession, imagine the howls of outrage from the same press who is now presenting drinking $1,000 bottles of wine as a mark of culture and just cutesy-poo.

One family of useless elitist bastards with another family of useless elitist bastards - probably discussing the insubordinate peasants around them today.

Zer0 and The Wookie ALWAYS “enjoy a long dinner and luscious wine” as long as someone else is paying for it.

Barky a master of fine wines? I think they’re confusing an oenophile with an analphile.

Did anyone check the wine cellars & china cabinets after they left? You can be sure things are missing.

While thousands of Americans are displaced due to tornadoes, man made flooding, and fires.

Don’t see why we can’t just let him enjoy his waffles.

Giving Hussein and the wookie $1000 wine is like providing cannibals with a finger bowl! It’s just a wasted effort.

A quart of Ripple out of a Mason jar would have been appropriate for the Jefferson’s.

Maybe next week the Queen can invite over obama’s kenyan granny and other relatives who live in Council Housing, and serve wine out of a box.

Cheesy posers wouldn't know a 1000 dollar burgundy from a twenty dollar burgundy. They just relish the idea of sucking down costly wine on someone else's tab. Next they will ask to be turned loose in a candy store.

"After two straight presidents..."? Is Paul Bedard trying to insinuate that BHO isn't "straight"?

Why is the British monarch serving French wine when Australia and New Zealand produce perfectly decent wines? Even Canada has a wine-producing district (near Niagara Falls).
