Spain's king brought President Bush a message of goodwill Wednesday from Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, whose vocal opposition to the Iraq war has chilled U.S.-Spanish relations.

Zapatero, the head of the Spanish government, has written and called Bush to congratulate him on his re-election, but can't get past the White House switchboard. Bush sent him a note earlier this month thanking him.

By contrast, King Juan Carlos, who holds no political power, was ferried onto Bush's ranch aboard a Marine Corps helicopter bearing the U.S. presidential seal. The first king to visit Bush's ranch, he was accompanied by his wife, Queen Sofia, for the one-hour, 20-minute stay.

Bush drove his white pickup truck to the landing site, accompanied by his wife, Laura, and his father, former President George H.W. Bush. After a hearty handshake and a lingering pose for group pictures, Bush held the pickup's passenger door open for his royal guest; the king rode shotgun during a tour of the 1,600-acre ranch, the wives in the back seats.

14. Please everybody - Stop calling it a RANCH

No ranching or farming is done there. It's an ESTATE, fercrissakes. Let's stop using republican propoganda terms.

15. It is worse than that ...... it is a stage prop ......

.... a Hollywood set. Borrowed moo-cows and horsies. Bought hay bale all propped up nicely where the "press" do their "reporting". (By the way, doesn't hay that stays in a bale outdoors eventually rot? When will that one start to really reek?)
