When Dubuya spoke with the Queen in 1991
Yesterday was not the that George W. Bush met the Queen of England:
The firstwas 16 years ago, when his father George H.W. Bush waspresident. In her memoir, former first lady Barbara Bushrecounts that during lunch, she jokingly told Queen Elizabethshe had put their ``Texas son as far away from her as possibleat the table and had told him that he was not allowed to say aword to her.''
The queen asked the ``Texas son,'' George W. Bush, why thatwas and whether he was ``the black sheep in the family?'' Bushsaid he guessed that was the case and asked the queen who wasthe black sheep in her family. She laughed and didn't answer.The conversation then shifted to Bush's cowboy boots, accordingto Barbara Bush's account.
Even more than six years later, I am still amazed we elected this guy.
