President Bush got off on the wrong foot by mis-speech-ifying. In remarks with Queen Elizabeth II, the President slipped up and suggested she'd visited the US in 1776. Or would that have been "the colonies" then? Anyway the Daily Telegraph says it went downhill from there:

Heh, heh, heh. At least he didn't give her a nickname. (The Daily Telegraph)
