…sneaking behind the bushes for a makeout session…

We hope everyone is happy that their tax money is spent wisely! President Bush and his posse had dinner with Queen Elizabeth II and her posse. The dinner menu included:

Spring pea soup with fernleaf lavender
Chive pizzelle with American caviar
Newton Chardonnay Unfiltered 2004

Dover sole almondine
Roasted artichokes, pequillo peppers and olives
Saddle of spring lamb
Chanterelle sauce
Fricassee of baby vegetables
Peter Michael Les Pavots 2003

Arugula, Savannah mustard and mint romaine
Champagne dressing and trio of farmhouse cheeses
“Rose Blossoms”
Schramsberg Brut Rose 2004

Yum! Stephen P. Pizzo at the Atlantic Free Press makes an interesting comparison between the White House dinner and meals for soldiers in Iraq. I think Mr. Pizzo is a little hard on our leaders. I mean, you can get Peter Michael Les Pavots 2003 for under $200 now!

Apparently George W. made a few gaffes, as expected.

Stumbling over his words, he came perilously close to suggesting that the monarch had toured the States in 1776, instead of 1976.

Then he winked at her.

No matter.

As Lt. Frank Drebin (head of security for the Queen’s visit) said:

“No matter how silly the idea of having a queen might be to us, as Americans we must be gracious and considerate hosts.”
