In an effusive official statement issued June 13, the Secretary of State said “With her quiet dignity and steadfast dedication to the service of others, Her Majesty encapsulates the spirit of the United Kingdom to all Americans… Our two countries will always work together for the peace, health, and prosperity of our citizens, just as we will always continue the global fight for freedom, justice, and human dignity. Ours is a special relationship and today I wish the happiest of birthdays to Her Majesty the Queen and extend my very best wishes to the people of the United Kingdom.” Pass the barf bag. [dns]
