My bad. Yesterday, I mocked Michelle Obama for her "etiquette hiccup" in touching the shoulder of Queen Elizabeth.
The British were outraged, so as an American with (thanfully) no interest or understanding of Royalty, took the British citizens for their word.
Today, Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying First Lady Michele Obama did not break protocol.
They site mutual affection and the informality of the occasion. My guess is that the Queen wanted to squash the idea that the First Lady did, in fact, commit a faux-pas.
Whatever. I still don't like Michelle. Up next: The White House statement stating that Queen Elizabeth did not break protocol by touching the "arse" of The Anointed One's wife.
