WTF Is It Now?!?

Bunnypants' British Boondoggle
Republicans should be looking hard at what the Brits had to spend to keep the President safe during his recent visit to Britain. And they should be worried. The Mahablog explains.

Queen's fury as Bush goons wreck garden
"The Queen has every right to feel insulted at the way she has been treated by Bush."

THE Queen is furious with pReznit Privilege after his state visit caused thousands of pounds of damage to her gardens at Buckingham Palace.

Royal officials are now in touch with the Queen's insurers and Prime Minister Tony Blair to find out who will pick up the massive repair bill. Palace staff said they had never seen the Queen so angry as when she saw how her perfectly-mantained lawns had been churned up after being turned into helipads with three giant H landing markings for the Bush visit.

The rotors of the resident's Marine Force One helicopter and two support Black Hawks damaged trees and shrubs that had survived since Queen Victoria's reign, and his "army of clod-hopping security service men" trampled precious and exotic plants.

The most expensive pub lunch in history
Two jumbo jets, two liveried presidential helicopters, four more US Navy helicopters, a motorcade of limousines, 200 US secret service agents and 1300 English police were required to unite Mr Bush safely with his fish and mushy peas. Total cost? 2.3 million. Dollars.

The village football pitch was transformed into a helipad as hundreds of police, some with dogs, created a buffer zone of several hundred yards to keep out the locals. They were almost too effective as Mr Bush, after exchanging greetings with the Blairs, looked around desperately for an English hand to shake only to find himself posing for a photograph with Mr Blair's press secretary.

In a scene typical of when Bubble Boy is forced to come into contact with 'the people,' 100 locals were "carefully selected" to join the photo-op of the Bushes and the Blairs having a country lunch, while protesters were kept far away, cordoned off in a 'First Amendment Zone.'
