Apparently, he didn’t read my post on How To Act Around The Queen.

UPDATE:  Then again, Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) put his foot in it yesterday when he favorably quoted Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the KKK.

Not smart.

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE:  Firedoglake takes a look at Nathan Bedford Forrest.
