Malkin's choice of the word "hillbillie" is rude, neophyte would be appropriate.

For the record, I watched the event on the news, several times and, the Queen did put her arm around Michelle first. Michelle reciprocated the gesture. The queen obviously did not mind. In fact she specifically asked Michelle to keep in touch. This last part was reported by an official standing by.

I am most definitely an original 'hillbilly' and I am not offended. Who cares; I agree, get a life. It's as though being officially offended is a badge or medal to be worn and shown off to anyone who cares and apparently there are *many* who long to be offended. Oh, waaaa.

The title was actually a bit of sarcasm about hillbillies being compared to the Obamas. The real point of the clip though was to point out more media bias. Seems they just can't stop themselves from showing their blatant bias by giving the Obamas a pass for doing things they would torch other politicians for doing. They are even declaring the Obamas some kind of new American royalty. I guess they haven't studied their history about what happened the last time we were ruled by royalty.

If I ever meet the Queen of England, lol, I will lick her face.
