King George

The other day (the 17th) at a press conference, when referring to the US Attorneys, said:

"...[The US Attorneys] serve at our pleasure."

"Our" is the ROYAL plural, a pronoun only a king or queen can use. It's even more chilling when using it to talk about "serving at the pleasure of..."

No one else caught this, of course, just your trusty Shakespeare-studying politico gal, LMP.

Perhaps there was another answer. Perhaps he was frankly admitting that he's handled by a team that doesn't let him make decisions. He couldn't be referring to the White House or the Administration as a group, because the US Attorneys don't serve at the pleasure of the VP, or the AG, or any team made up of any of these people. They do in fact serve at the pleasure, or discretion, of the President and only the President. He could only be referring to the group that is making his decisions for him. The "Decider", huh!

I'm awfully scared that the reason the GOP seems so unprepared for the 2008 election is that there isn't going to be one, and we just end up with King George until the end of his days.
