The Queen of England is old. Over 80 years old.

And if she wants to put her arm around the First Lady, she will.

Because she's old, and she's the Queen, and protocol be damned.

Now get a grip and get back to real news.

Part of me is going "awww." Most of me is going "...and this is news?"

Today's Washington Times has a front-page story on Michelle Obama's fashion throw-down with Carla Bruni: can she win with American designers and yet still not look elitist? *facepalm*

MAO

That's very sweet~~it shows that both are human beings. It was nice to see a genuine smile on Elizabeth's face.

I thought it was a lovely picture.

Hm.

Michelle, Michelle, where have you been?

Off to England to visit the Queen!

Michelle, Michelle, who'd you offend?

The Anti-Hugging Guild and Their Friends!


... I could not resist.

I thought they were wonderful together, and that it was very sweet. It seems to be mostly Americans who are insanely upset about this, because the Guardian thought it was pretty cool (my workmates were gossiping about it this morning, and I read them part of the Guardian article).

I think I need a Michelle icon...

It was when she groped Obama's package that people got really offended.
