The Queen approves. Okay?

By GottaLaff

What part of this does CNN not understand?

A Buckingham Palace spokesman who asked not to be identified because of palace policy said he could not remember the last time the queen had displayed such public affection with a first lady or dignitary.

"It was a mutual and spontaneous display of affection," he said. "We don't issue instructions on not touching the queen."

Today's top stories include: The G20 summit, President Obama's speech, Blagojevich is indicted, the House approves a budget blueprint, the economy, the economy, the economy, Afghanistan, Iraq, tobacco products will be regulated, the truth commission is on its last legs... okay, I'll stop here.

Whaddya think? Could those stories fill an hour of cable "news" [sic]? In Tee Vee Machine time, that's about 44 minutes, maybe less on cable. If you answered yes, and I answered yes, then why didn't CNN? Anderson Cooper devoted an entire segment to interviews with everyone he could drag in front of a camera about whether or not Michelle ::gasp!:: violated Queen Elizabeth.

Hold everything. No way. Anderson is at it again. It's seven minutes before the end of his show, and he's all over The Touch... again. The second time in an hour. Un. Be. Lievable.
