Next up – having our picture taken with David and Victoria Beckham

God, how CHILDISH.

Look at the Department of Information release on the subject – it deliberately seeks to give the impression that the Muscats were invited to a special meeting with the Obamas – tea on the lawn, or something, because why else would the wives be involved.

But all they did was line up with two hundred others to have their picture taken with the hottest couple on earth.

‘Meet’, in political and news terms, signifies an encounter of some importance during which some sort of political or bilateral business is discussed, not the equivalent of a chance encounter with a rock-star in an airport lounge.

This is a DOI release but the headline’s just a caption for a teenager’s fan album. They really are in this just for the thrills and they’re not even ashamed to admit it.
