Bush the Mighty Afraid to Address Parliament?

Apparently Our Heroic President George Bush, Strong of Heart and Mighty of Sword, is backing out of addressing the British Parliament on his visit there this week.

BUSH PULLS OUT OF SPEECH TO PARLIAMENT

The article, in the left-leaning Daily Mirror, includes a photo of George the Mighty, Chieftain of the Coalition of the Willing, labelled: "SCARED: Bush." It seems that some Labour Party backbenchers were planning to walk out on Our Magnificent Leader. But, the article reports:

<< The only speech Mr Bush, who will stay with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, is now due to give will be to an "invited audience" at the Banqueting House in Whitehall.

<< Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn said: "This is yet another slight on this country by the president of the USA.

<< "The least he could do is subject himself to questions from MPs." >>

I don't know if Corbyn knew how much of a joke that is! Bush hardly even has press conferences for the tamed reporters of the White House press corps. Take questions in Parliament?! Ha!

Bush turned down an opportunity to address the European Parliament in Strasbourg on an earlier European trip. His handlers wanted them to guarantee our Glorious Leader a standing ovation. They wouldn't make the guarantee, so he wouldn't give the speech.
