I'm not allowed to try thinking in the morning anymore.

First "Huh?" of the day, and second "Huh?" of the day.

He can't possibly ban Camilla from the White House! No way.

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

The first one makes my head hurt. The second one makes me want to vomit.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I know, seriously. I don't think it's true, but it still made me make the "Huh?" face.

[phillyexpat.livejournal.com]

Wasn't Ronald Regan divorced? (I know he was at one point married to Jane Wyman-whether they got divorced or the marriage was annulled, I know not) I mean, for crying out loud, the poster boy of the Republican Party and 8 year White House Occupant . . . not to mention who knows how many other White House distinguished guests and workers-no way is this possible . . .

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

So there are more sources on the Camilla story now? Last I heard it was just the Mirror, and therefore people were dismissing it as a hoax.

Please, please let this lead to talk of banning divorce! hahahahaha.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

If it's for real, that is, which I still doubt.

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

Seems like it would be more effective than banning marriage. You know, since they're trying to save marriage. :P

God I'm glad our President isn't a hypocritical, self-righteous fucktard.

[ewacat.livejournal.com]

Banning Camilla.

Who will be the wife of our next king.

Which won't please us UKers one bit, really.

Who are his main allies again?

... Oh yeah.

Umm, that was smart of him.

[caitirin.livejournal.com]

Yeah I read that and had the same response, but I'm not going to believe it until I read an article that says that in a more reputable source. I mean, if it was reported by "The Sun", that's like reading an article in the "National Enquirer".

It'll be fucking NUTS if it IS true, but I'm not going to believe it till I read it somewhere more credible.

Wouldn't put it past our stupid president though.

[bishounenhuntrs.livejournal.com]

The first one:

Oh, that's just totally fucking scummy!

Second:

What the hell? O_O
Are they trying to make Britain say "Fuck you!" and withdraw any of it's support for them?

Dude, having the Royals speaking out against them would not help them at all.

[caitirin.livejournal.com]

Well, consider the source. Since when has Bush proven to be intelligent?

Right. Never.

I thought it was pretty cool that he was going to finally get to marry her.

[wer-bin-ich.livejournal.com]

Yeah - "Huh??" was exactly my reaction to both. Oy vey. *shakes head*

[franticgoddess.livejournal.com]

The second article makes mention of the fact that Charles is also a divorce (no idea how to spell that :p), though I believe that would traditionally be OK, because his first wife is also dead. Therefore, it sort of make it ok for him to remarry in the eyes of the church, no?

I really have no idea what I'm talking about.

IN OTHER NEWS, I say HUH as well.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

The first one... OK, let's just say that Karl Rove is on the list of the very, very rare people that wouldn't make me wince in sympathetic pain if he stubbed his toe badly enough to break it in front of me. And you all know what kind of a "mothrffff....." pain that can be. I like the Slime Demons from Angel more.

The second one, I don't want to believe, because I am not English nor a subject of any royal family and yet I can see the size of the insult involved here. It probably isn't true; someone in there has to have more sense than that, unless they have a hankering for couriers from the British Embassy delivering demands for formal apologies (to start with). I'll just hope it isn't true, because it is after all The Sun.

And apart from being a diplomatic faux-pas of the size of saying "I find frogs tasty" to a delegation of Gungans, it's seriously sick to the point of making me sick to my stomach, but then that sort of sickness I've grown to expect from this administration.

Whee! I ranted.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

Okay, Bush is stupid, but he's not that stupid. Is he?

-blue

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

Which church? Is the royal family Church of England? If so, wasn't that church CREATED on the principles of divorce?

And Bush is Protestant, but somehow managed to get all the Catholic votes this past year (except my fiance's, at least).

[etoilepb.livejournal.com]

Bush's head is so far up his own ass that he can see his throat. God.

[etoilepb.livejournal.com]

Also: didn't they just start allowing civil unions for gay couples in the UK? Or start a process? I slept through most of the news this morning so it could easily have been in my head, but I thought I heard it mentioned alongside something about the British armed services recognizing gay soldiers' and officers' partnerships. I don't know, and I don't have the time right now to look it up. But if I did, Bush is probably trying to punish the UK somehow.

FYI the Sun and Daily Mirror are rather like our National Enquirer; they're trash tabloids and little more.

I have a couple copies of Daily Mirror (the ones with the "how can 59,054,087 people be so dumb" bush cover) and it really is nothing more than a tabloid.

I'd take anything quoted from those sources with a big grain of salt.

[denial-girl.livejournal.com]

Oh if this is true, please, please, please let Charlie and Camilla snub Bush and not invite him to the wedding! That would be hilarious!

But the British are way classier than that, aren't they?

....

*head explodes*

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

The Sun tends to be true, just very lowest-common-denominator. They're a genuine newspaper, in amidst all the celebrity shit, and are actually taken in less often than, say, the Daily Mirror.

The National Enquirer parallel would be the Sunday Sport.

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't. I'm studying Newspaper Journalism in Britain, and one of the first things I had to learn was that I didn't have to like it, but I do have to respect the Sun. It has extremely good reporters, and seldom gets the basic facts wrong. It just writes everything within a limited vocabulary, and also has a lot of celebrity shit in there.

It's a long way from the National Enquirer.

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

I suspect the fact that his divorce was caused by his wife's infidelity probably helps him out there. I believe the church doesn't penalise the injured party.
