Alternatively, George Bush, being a distant relation of the British Royals, is fully eligible to assume the British throne should the rest of the royal clan be suddenly wiped out by anthrax or somesuch. If he could hang out with his pal Tony (forging an unprecedentedly close royal/parliamentary relationship, no?), I'm sure he'd be up for it if his presidential term were up and he could still get his tex-mex food over yonder. "If he could still get..." - what am I thinking? He'd be King. Of course he could "get."
