Queen Elizabeth Makes Joke Comparing Trump and Obama to a Helicopter
 
By Rusty | Featured Contributor | April 10, 2018 1:42PM

Queen Elizabeth II cracked a joke about President Trump and former President Barack Obama sounding similar to a helicopter making incessant noise when you’re trying to talk, a rare display of her sense of humor to the public.

The queen had been filming with naturalist David Attenborough for a TV documentary, strolling through Buckingham Palace Garden, when the serenity was interrupted by a helicopter overhead.

Trump should send her DVDs of all his speeches - or maybe his tweets?

The Queen of what? That country whose ass we kicked to get away from? I really don't give a rip what they or any other you'reapeeun country has to say about any of our Presidents.  While England doesn't, most of those countries are stuffing our foreign aid money into their pockets with one hand while slapping us with the other.

The fact she threw Obama in there makes her far more worthy of respect than our own big mouthed celebrities.

She was probably drunk and managed to get away from her handler.

It will be a a fitting bookend to her collection of Neville Chamberlain's greatest appeasement speeches and letters.

Did you all read what she said?  It was a mild little joke and didn't denigrate anybody.  Good grief.

Isn't it a joy to become "elderly"!  Finally Elizabeth says what she thinks again .... after all these years.

(Hey ... just like Trump!!)

It even had partisan balance. It was cute.

But not reading the article before commenting is the new American way, and why the stuff in the first three lines gets traction and the facts (if included later on) are ignored.  **nononono*

And not reading the posts under the article and then posting about the unread posts is the new Smokin' Joe way.....

@Sanguine was spinning off the rails for nothing. All the posts were harmless gags from the 70's, puns and non sequiturs. Nothing really bashing the Queen for her comments, which means everyone read the article, but some didn't read the related posts.

Not that you'd see that as a derogatory comment?

No, I don't think that's correct, Frank.  Go read them again.

I just did. Archie Bunker, Monte Python and Foster Brooks. The only thing missing is one of Buddy Hackett's blue routines.

@GtHawk

Perhaps you have not been there.  If you go into a supermarket there (much smaller than ours), most of the products are American ones.  If our products were taken out, you could put the rest into a large bathroom.  Plus, our products there cost much more than here, and the packages are much smaller.  When I would go there, I would buy groceries for my son's family and I could hold $100 worth in two hands.  That country cannot survive without our products.  Most every item in son's bathrooms were/are from America.
