Britain's Queen Elizabeth II likes President Obama a lot. "In a rare gesture, the queen has invited the Obamas to stay at Buckingham Palace while in London,"
reported the
New York Times. The Queen even gave the First Couple a tour of the six-room suite where they will stay. Very gracious. The
Times could have stopped there and simply noted that the gesture is intended to underline the "Special Relationship" we've had with England since WWII. But going all tabloid on us, the editors deemed it crucial that readers know the suite was used by Prince William and Kate Middleton -- on their recent wedding night. “It may not be the same bed; it is the same suite,” said a nameless palace aide. Blimey, as the commoners say along Piccadilly Circus. Talk about way too much information.
