WASHINGTON - In a slip of the tongue, President Bush brought roars of laughter to a White House welcoming ceremony Monday for Queen Elizabeth II.
The president stumbled on a line in his speech, saying that the queen had dined with 10 U.S. presidents and had helped the United States "celebrate its bicentennial in 17 ... ." Bush caught himself and corrected the date to 1976. He paused as if to see if the queen had taken offense.
"She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child," the president said with a smile.

We should ask her who the stupidiest president was/is.
You would never know that there was a war going on with our two countries involed, her visiting Jamestown, the KY derby etc. and the chimp and psycho playing hosts.
