Nazi seems to be the hardest word

When you get down to it, the world really is sarcasm proof:
Prince Harry is being urged to apologise in person for wearing a Nazi costume to a fancy dress party.
He apologised in a statement after being pictured in the Sun newspaper wearing the desert uniform and swastika armband.
Well, at least he didn’t wear his Saddam Hussein costume.
“Poor choice of costume”. There’s an understatement for you!
(Insert joke about diminished mental capacity from generations of royal inbreeding here.)
Ya think Harry will be visiting the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz with Granny later this month?
One would think that having half of Dianas’ chromosomes could sufficiently conteract the traitorous German origins of the current Windsor dynasty………..
“I am very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise.”
Oh, good Godfrey Cambridge, I am so sickity sick sick of apologies that use the “if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone” to excuse the offender.
If?
Dude, just say it. “I’m sorry. I was feeling kinda frisky and more than a little drunk, and I thought it would be fun to be all outrageous, and now the grandparents are reminding me that the original guys who wore my fun costume killed tons of people and bombed my country relentlessly, and that it’s only because my ancestors and their allies fought really, really hard that I am able to have the opportunity to do crass, adolescent bullshit like wear a Nazi costume. I know I offended a lot of people, and I’m sorry, and I’m going to pay particularly close attention to my history classes so that in future, I won’t be such an ignorant wanker.”
I mean, is that so hard?
So here’s Prince Harry sittin’ there on the bench – I mean, he’s sittin’ there on the GROUP W bench – ’cause you wanna know if he’s moral enough to join th’ army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after wearin’ a Nazi costume?
Being a 1st generation American of German descent, I have no tolerance for anything Nazi, including the government of the United States.
Now if Jenna and not-Jenna had half the sense of humor that Harry has, they would show up burka’d and ululating at Daddy’s rockin’ pay-go ball-a-thon. And if Mary Cheney had any sense of humor at all, she’d show up as (or with) Ellen DeGeneres.
FORGET ABOUT MARK THATCHER GETTING CAUGHT TRYING TO OVERTHROW A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT. LOOK OVER HERE! LOOK AT HaRRY! IT’S A SWASTIKA! OOOOOOOH A SWASTIKA! SWASTIKA! SWASTIKA! SWASTIKA! THAT’S WHAT’S IMPORTANT. ANTIQUE LOGOS FROM DEAD DICTATORS FROM THE LAST CENTURY TRUMPS GETTING CAUGHT WRECKING OTHER PEOPLE’S COUNTRIES TODAY! LOOKLOOKLOOKLOOK!!!!
*ahem*
I wonder if Tony Blair will try to distract the voters from the news that Iraq did not have any WMDs by leaking photos of one of the royals abusing a small kitten on the lawn at Buckingham Palace.
Why didn’t he just say he’d found the getup in one of his great-granduncle Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David’s trunks and be done with it?
Doghouse-
It could’ve been a gift from the Bushes – you know a family heirloom from the days of Prescott that they wanted to give to the royals.
And I told him not to wear the clothes he found in Uncle Eddie’s trunk.
