Prince Charles not welcome, says US

Prince Charles has dropped plans to visit the United States because the White House, apparently unhappy with his views on Iraq, has signalled that he would not be welcome, the Mail on Sunday newspaper reported.

In a front-page report, it said that 'senior figures in the Bush administration' had indicated that it would be 'very unhelpful' for the trip to proceed due to the Prince's reported concern that a war would lead to a dangerous rift between the West and the Muslim world.

'A week-long tour was in the diary for February or March 2003,' it quoted a senior British government official as saying.

'But the prince has been politely informed that his views on the current Iraq crisis might not go down well.'

Whoo Hoo! Viva Bush!
Why kiss some figurehead's butt, particularly one who is as moronic and wrong-headed as Prince Chuck, when you don't have to?!
I take it that this would go double for that Hollyweird gang that has taken to Bush-bashing in public like Redford, Jessica Lange, Babs Streisand, and the gang of Dimocrat Liberal thespians from the cast of "The West Wing!"
