Young, good-looking, rich, heir to the throne, babe-magnet, and now, Taliban-killer.
I don’t want to be Tom Brady anymore.

Hoorah Harry!
BTW – When you sign up on the Sun site, they eventually ask you what football team you follow, but they don’t actually list any football teams. Just sayin’.
Actually, Harry’s not the heir, his older brother William (Wills) is, although Harry is in the line of succession.
Actually, neither are the heir…their father is. William becomes the heir in the event of either his father or the Queen’s death, and Harry becomes heir in the event any two of those three die.
It’s nice in this day and age to see someone actually change their evil ways. Bravo, Craig! That’s, as they used to say, one to grow on.
That’s funny. Usually it’s top US news websites spinning our top brassholes into heroes, if they are of the Demolib’ral sort, of course.
“but they don’t actually list any football teams”
We have many teams. Some with cool names.
West Bromwich Albion
Leyton Orient
Queens Park Rangers
Tottenham Hotspurs
Accrington Stanley
Forfar Athletic
Hiburnians
Partic Thistle
Havant and Waterlooville
see, Craig, people like you, with adoration of foreign dignitaries and their bravery, have caused primary electoral problems to Mitt Romney with 5 equally brave sons
It wasn’t very sporting of Drudge to reveal that information. It could have waited until after his tour was over.
Still, “Harry the Taliban-Killer” has a nice ring to it. If someone in the UK takes a shot at him, it could get farging ugly over there.
Well sashal, that bodes well for McCain, doesn’t it?
Tottenham Hotspurs
Hmmmm, you must be an Arsenal supporter. Tottenham Hotspur. It’s only plural when you just call them “Spurs.” Sorry to go semantic, but I get that way about the footie. Other good team names: Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves), Scunthorpe (The Iron), Ipswich Town (the Tractor Boys), and a three-way tie for lyrical joined-town clubs: Dagenham & Redbridge (Daggers), Rushden & Diamonds (Diamonds) and Gravesend & Northfleet (called The Fleet, IIRC).
If I were Harry, I’d be preparing to never speak to certain members of my family ever again.
He was such a goofy looking kid. I can’t believe how handsome he has turned out to be.
It makes me sad that Drudge had to blabber about it, unless that’s what Harry wanted.
It’s nice to see the lad carrying on family tradition. Household Cavalry, just like his Dad.
That was particularly mean, Pablo! (snicker)
Fuck royalty. My blood makes me better than you. Yeah? Let’s see some of it, shithead.
MayBee – Better half says that he is McDreamy, especially in his military togs.
JD- better half is so so right. Now if Harry would just don a kilt on a windy day……
Damn you MayBee ! My eyes are bleeding. Got put that link over at that not gay Gleenwald’s site, NTTAWWT.
It’s cool how stoked the Brits seem over Prince Harry and his body count.. I knew deep down, under the calm and proper fascade, they’re just as violent as we are.. (Probably more given their behavior at football games..)
Right on Prince Harry.. get some!
Show us your WAR FACE!
So, what did we learn here? Mainly, we learned that the media can indeed, for an surprisingly extended period of time, keep a military secret that aids in the defeat of terrorists…as long as the media leaking the secret wouldn’t help the Democrats in any way.
Also, we learned that the media can be bought with promises of a few juicy pics and vids of the Dreamy Prince in fatigues. All in all, a telling anecdote about the Working Press.
OT, have we ever gotten that “domestic wiretapping” technical piece from Ric? If so, will someone kindly point me towards it? I was trying to explain it to someone, but I’m sure I did a shit job.
Oh sure, I happen to be middle age, average looking [see http://instapundit.com/archives/019443.php%5D, middle class, heir to nothing, already married and I only got a couple of assists, on HI,G not Talib…
Maybe if I got a facial, and zorch a few AQ…? Nah.
Major John- I hereby invite you to don a kilt on a windy day.
Nae Thanks, Lass. I shall nae be doin’ any o’ that.
Hey, I nominate MayBee to be a guest blogger! Who’s with me?
Carin- if I can’t get Major John to post kilt pictures, what good am I?
Alright, you nitpickers. I could be wrong, but I believe one can use the word “heir” in a general sense, which is what I was doing.
I love the internet. I love the internet. I love the internet….
May Bee – I will post a pic of me in a kilt, and you will be in therapy for months.
MayBee, my family came to America from the Netherlands. And they were either academics from Groeningen or sh&t-kicker farmers from Friesland. No kilts, but plenty of dour looks and North Sea weather resistant clothing…
So Major — why not post a pic of yourself in wooden shoes?
#7, sigh, when Americans say football, we don’t mean soccer.
Thus bloviates sashal:
“see, Craig, people like you, with adoration of foreign dignitaries and their bravery, have caused primary electoral problems to Mitt Romney with 5 equally brave sons”
What a load of horseshit. If their hearts are not in it, better that they remain civilians. We’ve had enough phonies in uniform in recent times (the Goron and SKerry immediately come to mind), no need to add any more.
And Andrew is right; if some muzzie douchenozzle takes a shot at Harry, they are apt to all wish they’d stayed in the sandbox. The Brits take a very dim view of anyone fucking with their royals.
Britain’s got nothing on the U.S. They can send a mere prince, but we had The King in uniform!
Hi. I tried to comment, but I couldn’t. This was what it was…
I hate royalty. It’s really offensive. We fought a whole war and all. We won, too.
Then after that one hoochie died in her limo wreck I’m in a small town in Texas and people are going down to the courthouse to sign the contrived grief registry and it was surreal I thought. There’s no dignity in that.
No dignity in being royal, either. They’re very confused people.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. They don’t.
In our little princely soldier boy’s interview I heard this morning he said things were mostly ok. He just always had to remember that he could go out amongst “the locals” and see them, but he had to take care that they not see him.
Story of your life, sad little man.
Oh and yeah. Not a great week.
Aren’t you taking it a little too seriously, hf?
Well it’s all good fun until you have to look one of these frightfully average people in the eyes and say Your Highness.
I imagine, anyway.
I’m not sure if you’re allowed to make eye contact though.
They’re really the only reason we even have the word commoner, you know.
Well it’s all good fun until you have to look one of these frightfully average people in the eyes and say Your Highness.
Last time I checked, we don’t.
It’s just there’s plenty of British and American for real heroes whose names we sure don’t ever read about. Their parents a lot have actual jobs though.
I can’t believe no one’s got my back here. But then I was pretty by myself on the Tillman thing too. This would make a pattern. Ok, I’ll look at that.
Ok, I really tried. It just when I got myself right up to it I couldn’t get it to where it felt like anything like respectfulness. It more kind of felt like sugar coma. Like a glazed acceptance of his particular specialness, but like only cause they added so much sweetener.
I’m glad we could have this talk.
Oh, cripes, happyfeet. You don’t sound happy at all. How you gonna fall to yer knees before King Joshua, Son of Miriam then? Illegitimate, rabble-rouser, no stranger to prostitutes, friendly towards employees of the Exchequer, not particularly handsome either.
Oh, well. Maybe you want to fight a war against that king too. But I gotta tellya, you ain’t a-gonna win that fight.
And really, sometimes some folks are just reverse snobs. Who is to say that being a Royal is not a real job? Is it not any less real than being a farmer? Are blue-collar jobs the only real jobs around? Royalty at their best inspire their people. They lead by example. They run the tedious, but necessary ceremonial functions of government. They embody grace under fire, and dignity without reproach. Absolute monarchs also understand that they rule by the consent of the governed, which was codified by *British* common law.
Don’t look at the current lot of morons and losers now, just to pitch them all aside. Gustavus Adolphus, for instance, was a great King of Sweden. Augustus was so great a Roman Emperor, they declared him a god. Which, by the way, he was pretty cheesed about. You’ll not find anyone speaking a word against Queen Beatrix. Do you really think US Presidents are any better? Smile when you say that, cause your next Prez might be Barack Hussein Obama, or Hillary Rodham Clinton. Even ol’ John Sidney McCain is not all that much better, according to some.
For the record, I don’t much like royalty either. But consider the number of people born into luxury, and those who just enjoy it, and those who do what they can despite their privileged position. Now tell me, which is more worthy of admiration?
