    Royal Privacy Row As German Tabloid Publishes Duchess Of Cornwall’s Bare Butt Pic

    Um, no. Very no. Boy howdy, no.

    The Duchess of *Cambridge* is Prince William’s wife. The Duchess of *Cornwall* is Camilla, Prince Charles’ wife.

    Not even the Germans are publishing pictures of Camilla’s naked bum.

    How could you ignore the major news that Stacy McCain and Phil Robertson are going to be occupying the same space at the RLC? This could result in a massive redneck singularity!

    Not my circus, not my monkeys. Stacy sometimes posts about things I mention in Live at Five, but I tend to avoid linking to things he’s already posted about.

    As much as I support the idea of women wearing thong — or no — underwear, perhaps the Duchess of Cambridge might consider that this isn’t the wisest wardrobe choice for her.
