Well, that was awkward!

Just taught my 5th graders about the people who established America and how they wanted to be free from the King. Many of my students thought that it was wrong for one person to rule a country. Cute!

Especially since rule comes down through bloodline. Now there is a sure fire way to guarantee those in power are appropriate.

The English royals were smart. They wanted to avoid the fate of the French King and the Russian Czar.

Wow! The Queen mother is a superhero!

The Queen Mother is dead, actually.

The Queen Mother is dead, actually.

So she is a dead superhero.

You are getting increasingly bizarre.

You are getting increasingly bizarre.

Your point? That would have to do with the topic in what way?

 

[sallylou]

Shel, have your kids read Yertle the Turtle? Such a cute story about being free from royalty.

 

[Beach girl]

Just pointing it out.

Just pointing it out.

You are too kind. You seem to be rather fond of doing things of that nature. Such a helpful person.

No but it takes an elitist OR a bully to make fun of someone who committed a faux pas.

Naw. Palin is exempt. Everytime she opens her mouth she commits a faux pas. She has become our national symbol for comedic relief.

Clinton's faux pas/gaffes with Monica take the cake.

Uh, that wasn't a fauz pas.

 

[deafskeptic]

Uh, that wasn't a fauz pas.

What would you call it then? Personally, I think it was more than a faux pas though I never thought it grounds for impeachment. That seemed a bit extreme.
I don't think Hilary agreed to part of her marriage.

I'll cop to being an elitist. Proud of it, too.

Yeah, I never thought it was grounds for impeachment, either. No, I would call this a consciously made bad judgement. A faux pas is one of those Oops! kind of things usually happening just because someone was not aware of all the rules of etiquette.

WHAT!!! So you don't think he was aware of the rules of etiquette that one does not disrespect the Oval Office? After all it is called the OVAL OFFICE, not the oral office!

Let's face it: it was sheer kinkiness on the Republicans' part.

So would you support the firing of any CEO that did a similar thing? It's not the same as the White House but not everyone gets to be a CEO of a major corporation like GE.
