Der Parson's rant

A White-Tie Dinner for Queen’s White House Visit - New York Times:

Our man Bush strikes again,
"“You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 —— ” he went on, stopping to correct himself before 1776 could slip out. The crowd erupted in laughter, and the president and the queen turned to each other for a long, silent gaze. Then, Mr. Bush turned back to the crowd with an explanation. “She gave me a look,” he said, “that only a mother could give a child.”"

Too bad she didn't give him a spanking only a mother could give a child.
