The Heritage Foundation ran a contest to see if anyone could come up with better gifts for the Queen than the iPod the Obamas gave her. They divided it into two parts: thoughtful gifts and humorous ones. Some of the thoughtful gifts were truly excellent — Obama’s protocol people should take notes. But one of the facetious gifts was my favorite:

Don’t know about the Queen, but Obama probably snuck a bottle of Wild Turkey and a pack of smokes into the King of Saudi Arabia’s robes when he bowed down to kiss his belt buckle.
Given the (in)famous party-hearty lifestyle of wealthy Saudis, I’m sure the King could have slipped some to PBO.
Given that Michelle Obama was the first person in my memory to put her arm around the Queen in public perhaps she should invite Her Majesty to a girls’ night out? In Boston?
