a great example of what gobert was talking about happened today. Michelle Obama broke protocol and rubbed the Queen. The headlines read Michelle Charms The Queen, and the articles say that even though the Queen glared when touched it goes on to explain how the Queen didnt mind and it was okay. The very same article rips Bush for his visit with the Queen where he said hello and winked at her. the criticism? yep he broke protocol, they insinuate he was an idiot for breaking protocol. Michelle breaks protocol shes charming, Bush breaks it, hes an idiot.
in the same fucking article.
what is scary is Dave is a fairly smart man and he obviously cant read through the bias.
This AP article says it was the Queen who hugged Michelle first...
