Prince Charles And Camilla Visit America

Prince Charles and his new wife, Camilla Parker Bowels, are visiting the former colonies.
For the vast majority of Americans the Royal Visit is met with indifference, the Royal Couple has all the star power of a cheap one dollar flashlight.
Prince Charles is no Prince Charming, and Camilla is no Princess Diana -- in fact she's no Janet Reno.
But for an administration that's bogged down by Iraq, buffeted by the DeLay indictment, belittled for the Miers debacle, blindsided by rising fuel prices and beleaguered by Plamegate -- it's akin to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall provide a much needed distraction for George W. Bush. This is their first official overseas trip since marrying in April, and it gives Dubya the opportunity to demonstrate that he can socialize with royalty.
On their eight-day jaunt stateside, the newlywed couple dined and wined at the White House and visited with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. How interesting, a totally irrelevant and ineffectual Royal Couple, providing a welcome relief to two men renowned for their corruption and incompetence.
The Royals also plan a visit to my home town of San Francisco, a delightful city that places a high value on camp. Prince Charles and Camilla will be welcomed with open arms in the City by the Bay, where the sense of the absurd reigns supreme.
Alfred E. Neuman and his dowdy spouse will soon be returning to England; it's too bad they can't take George W. Bush with them, to serve as their Court Jester.
