    LOL! LOL! I am laughing that she would need an ID. I know you were only teasing but somehow it struck my funny bone. When I think of the money that was spent on this visit it really bothers me. It's not just the queen's visit but any dignitary. They put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. Why do we, and other countries, have to spend such vast amounts on these occasions. What a waste of money when so many among us are so needy. Liz, I have seen Bush wink at many people. It is sort of a trademark with him at this point (as well as his gaffs! )

    It might be a Bush "thing", but it is a major faux pas in dealing with Royality.
    It just is not done. It's not like they're old Texas buddies & he is not in
    Texas anymore.

    LOL,

    She showed class by not being huffy and TO'ed.

    Gosh, you can be and act like royalty and still have fun.

    A lesson lost on the "royalty" here in the U.S..

    -----------


    Associated Press ran an article on what the Queen carries in her purse.


    An ipod-loaded with nothing but rock and roll by English bands, a blackberry that plays "Rule Brittania" when it rings, Mentos, kleenex,
    Bic lighter, A Thomas A Swift Elelctric Rifle (google it...), Change for a ten pound note, spare gloves and three Godiva Chocolate Bars.


    Last night she added an Official Topps NFL card, signed, by Peyton Manning.

    I thought it was funny when he winked at her. Let's face it, the Queen probably doesn't get many winks. I think it secretly tickled her!

    I think she probably carries a flask of tea around with her in her purse!!!

    As for how to act around the Queen, well, she is the Queen of Englad not the USA. She needs to unwind when here.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Well I think she would like a wink every now and again.
    She wouldn't be getting them from Phil very much....unless he had some kind of twitch in his eye or something.
