Stupid Flanders

Memorial to a world class dewberry

The more I look at this, the more I'm astounded by the shallowness of Obama's knowledge and understanding of anything to do with western culture.  It is possible, even probable, that we Americans are were unaware that the Brit national anthem is played after each toast to the queen, and that one does not talk over it. The reason we don't know that is that never before has anyAmerican important enough to toast the Queen in her presence been so blissfully unschooled about the protocol and customs of the situation.  The Won later offered this excuse: “I thought that it was like, it was like out of the movies when the soundtrack kinda comes in.” As telling as all this is about our scripted leader without a script, his gum chewing performance yesterday at the Joplin tribute reeks of the innate disrespect he has for common decency.  Rest assured, however; this man knows to never wipe his ass with the fingers on his right hand. Ahem.
