[...] Finally there is AllahPundit at Hot Air. I think his post was supposed to be funny, but I had trouble making much sense of it. I think he is employing the "they are friends" defense. But, I can’t really tell so I urge you to go read it yourself if you really are so inclined. [...]

I never met a woman that would turn down a good Texas shoulder massage!

It’s just a little Texas Hold ‘em.
This is my translation of the captions. The tone of the comments appears to me like the German writer thought the whole thing was charming and cute.

1. Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel is speaking directly with of Italy Prime Minister Romano Prodi – when George W. Bush comes into the hall…
2. Merkel talking to her neighbor, does not notice Bush approaching from the back…
3. … suddenly the US-president lays both hands on Merkels shoulders…
4. … and his Texas one second massage begins…
5. … the chancellor winces, startled, brings up her hands, does not know who has put them there from the back…
6. … and with air of innocence the president heads, after the joke, for his place at the conference table. Merkel takes the astonishing dear attack with humor, smiles

What’s the problem? It’s Cowboy Diplomacy.

Oh my God….this one just amazes me. These poor, sad, silly libs. How screwed up do you have to be to see this as sexual harrassement? Could these idiots be any more insignificant? I can’t take it…..I may start drinking.

So again we have liberals redefining what sex is, or are they outraged by the fact that a man can touch a woman without getting blasted as a womanizer? Maybe they are mad that no one wants to touch Hitlary? From what I’ve read, it appears to me that the femi-nazis have decided that any intaraction between the sexes is RAPE, unless performed by Cigarman. Blame that on the fact that they have a membership comprised of over 50% lesbians.

Liberals do have issues which cause them to seek sex therapists, but the President isn’t bothered by such nonsense. Thankfully.

I’d love to hear what Chancellor Merkel has to say.

If that was harrassment, I’m going to the slammer!

She was looking at him, saw him coming, and had started her gesture–which looked like “darn it” to me, perhaps in response to some “gotcha” remark–before he touched her.

That’s about as much as I could gather from two seconds of pantomime without dialogue or context. And Atilla–right the hell on.

Nary a word from the left about what is going on in the middle east I'm not saying we have to agree with what the left is saying about the middle east, but are you freaking kidding me? They won't shut up about it! Just today, they're saying that these pictures of Israeli children decorating rockets headed for Lebanon are of some sort of moral equivalence with Palestinian children participating in pro-Hamas demonstrations! If there's one thing the Left isn't, it's silent. Ever. Isn't that the point "barking moonbats"?

ANGELA MERKEL: Experiencing groping pains

By: entagor

Bush gets his hands on everyone. He works a crowd with his hands. His entrance into the State of the Union address, on camera, is a hands everywhere regardless of party event.

Strange they just now noticed.

His recent talking with a mouth full of food video got a lot of play too. I am certain that video was altered to amplify the chewing sounds.

Meanwhile, Israel is invading Lebanon and Mexicans are invading the US. Iran and NK are playing chicken with nukes and terror cells are falling from the ceilings all over the West.

I just wish Bush would keep his paws off Vicente Fox. Senorito Fox bats his eyelashes and Bush builds another gateway to the North country.

Stupid…

The nutroots are stupid. Seriously, just stupid:Does any of it matter? Might it not suggest that Bush was merely being familiar with someone with whom he is, in fact, familiar? Of course not. Show this post to a leftist and,……

Man, this whole business just infantilizes women. And I don’t mean what Bush did. I mean the reaction to it. Here’s Merkel, who’s the friggin’ leader of a semi-important western nation. If she thinks his behavior’s inappropriate, can’t she tell him? No, of course not. There’s a difference in power, blah blah blah. In other words, women are helpless, weak little things, right? What a victory for modern feminism.

Seriously, this is the most moronic thing I’ve seen since…well, since ABC said that Gorbachev won the Cold War.

pullingmyhairout, I took a little time out, just for you, my HotAir e-friend :)

Bush: Love-attacks on Merkel!

US-President storms onto our chancellor

This political love ist in the true sense of the word touching!

The US-President George W. Bush at the G-8 summit in St. Petersburg.

From behind he shrewdly creeps up on chancellor Angela Merkel [(CDU) this means conservative party], surprises her with a Blitz-massage (lightening-massage – a quickie so to speak :).

How the chancellor reacted to these “love-attacks” from Bush, you can see here (link to her reaction)… /translation over

How these idiots can believe for 2 seconds that Mr. Bush could possibly be after Ms. Merkel with two of the classiest dames in his life, his wife and Ms. Rice (nothing implied here, except a very close friendship and sharing of minds), surpasses Freudian imagination. This from Europeans!

In the late 90s, I asked Italian colleagues once, in a medical devices company, if they have ’sexual harrassment in Italy’. They responded ‘oh, yes, we turn men in to HR when they don’t harrass us’.

We, the conservatives and most independents, are so blessed in the opposition. It is again ‘tolerance’ and ‘progressiveness’ we deal with; and this puerile nothingness in such serious times; and not to forget the Clinton years… /sarcasm off
