The Embarassment in Chief

You know what? Not only is Bush the worst President ever, but he is also the biggest embarassment to America. Okay, so Bush freaking out a baby in Germany wasn't completely his fault, though his expression of complete abandonment of all responsibility was disgusting. But Bush's latest embarassing act in Germany is just plain inexcusable in a man who is on a diplmatic mission. At the G-8 summit, President Bush reached from behind to grab German Chancellor Angela Merkel and gives her a quick massage before rushing off. This is a condescending and inappropriate gesture when one leader is interacting with another. Chancellor Merkel was clearly horrified at Bush's behavior.

Okay...THIS is the man who we have as our leader? THIS is the man who is determining our foreign policy? Sheesh! I bet Elmer Fudd would be a more dignified and diplomatic leader than Mr. "I peed on a police car and daddy got me off the hook" Bush.

For crying out loud

The man is so embarrassing. She's the fucking head of government of Germany. This was totally a gendered move. He never would have done that to Tony or Pooty-Poot or Zapatera. He felt comfortable doing this because she's a woman. Therefore, her body is accessible to him in ways male leaders' bodies aren't. Even though she's the German Chancellor, she doesn't have to be treated with respect because she's only a girl. Christ, what an ass he is.

Actually...

Wouldn't it be funny if he DID try it on Putin?

Wait, what about the hand-holding?

Wasn't it a male (Saudi prince?) he was photographed holding hands with as they walked along, last year?

And don't forget

Holding hands with Bloomberg and, of course, the infamous Lieberman kiss.

Words to live by

This year's first day of April was noticeably lacking in April Fool's jokes as far as mention in the media was concerned. Perhaps this is due to the fact that, with George Bush and Dick Cheney still at the helm of the ship of state, there is no need to single out a particular day for foolishness or nasty pranks in the United States: every day is April Fool's day in this country for the time being.
