I watched C-Span last night because they were covering some of the dinner live. They showed some of the guests arriving and they showed the President, Mrs. Bush, the Queen & her hubby coming down the stairs. They also showed the official toast that both the President and the Queen make.

Now before they got to all of this, C-Span showed past presidents giving their toasts. They were all eloquent and dignified.

Then came Dubya...he was a blithering idiot. You could even hear him say "your turn" to the queen. She got up and did her toast and then Dubya went and clicked her glass, but didn't drink from it. He looked so uncomfortable & out of place next to the queen. I felt embarrassed for him.
