McAleese meets Bush

alleepally · 2004-06-26 21:35:25

From RTE site http://www.rte.ie/news/2004/0626/ncaleese.html "The President, Mary McAleese, paid a courtesy call on Mr Bush this morning." Why on earth is OUR president going to meet him. Does protocol not dictate it should be the other way around? Have some dignity woman and not go running to monkey boy.

Unless N.I. was made part of the ROI in the last 12 hours since my original posting, I think it's fair to say that she is actually President of the Republic of Ireland.

Ho hum. Just pointing out a factual error, don't get all political there (which you obviously were in the first place by saying "President of the Republic of Ireland")
