CAMILLA BANNED FROM WHITE HOUSE
Feb 20 2005


Dubya bars Camilla from White House ..because she is a divorcee

By Paul Gilfeather Political Editor

GEORGE Bush has banned Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House - because she is a divorcee.

The unprecedented snub has effectively sabotaged Charles's plan to take his bride on a Royal tour of America later this year.

The trip would have been the pair's first official tour as a married couple.

But the US President - a notoriously right-wing Christian and reformed alcoholic - told aides it was "inappropriate" for him to be playing host to the newly-weds, who are both divorcees.

1. I suppose it's possible, but . . .

I suspect it's bullshit. He's met Charles before. I can't imagine that the crew of troglodytes and serial torturers he surrounds himself with haven't racked up a few divorces of their own.

I'll wait to hear this from a few more sources.

3. He had better look at all the people working with in the walls
as I am sure many of them too are divorced.
They use these Christian principles when they meet their needs. - Unbelievable

6. Sunday mirror appears
to be quite a tabloid of the English variety.

7. This cannot be right.
It has to be a joke, I don't care if the Sunday Mirror is a major British paper. Not even Bush would ever be that stupid, and even if he were, those around him would quickly correct such stupidity, as they'd know just what a horrendous gaffe that would be.

The article states that the decision has more to do with the fact that while Americans loved Diana, they consider Charles to be dull and aloof and they blame the couple for the break-up of the royal marriage. Apparently, Bush is afraid that hosting Camilla would irritate and anger too many Americans, so he's using the divorce excuse. That's also dumb, though, because frankly most Americans don't even know who Camilla is or anything about her. And if he's going to use that excuse, then he'd better not invite his brother Neil to the WH at all either.

I still say this is total bullshit, though, it has to be. It's on the level of a story in the World Weekly Standard, or similar checkout fiction tabloids.

8. Since the Bush White House opens male whores with open arms,
it would be sexist for it to treat a female one differently.

9. i think the mirror is planting a story
to show their disgust with the royals..i`m not sure why charles would even want to meet with the bushs..charles disdains bush and will never forgive him for the disaster of bush`s london visit,especially bush`s destruction of the queen`s garden..

10. Chuck & Camilla
The queen won't attend the wedding either. Why should we care about the ultimate Upper Class Twit? The monarchy is archaic and a waste of resources. As the peasants said in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "You're my king? I didn't vote for you!"

11. Yes, but is she also "divorced from reality"?
'cause, according to our man Gannon, that too could cause difficulties...

12. Either a hoax or 10 Most Conservative Idiots candidate
Wait a minute, Charles was divorced, as was Camilla, was he banned too? (Not that I care, but this is not making sense...)

I am going to give * the benefit of doubt this is purely a hoax. Otherwise, this would be worthy of the 10 Conservative Idiots list.
