Our President the Groper
Okay, our titular Prez said "shit" into a microphone. Hell, the titular vp said the "F" word on the floor of the house as I was led to understand a while back. These are boys putting on their crude Halloween costumes, intent on promulgating an image of power, and so self-absorbed that they might even miss an occasional social cue (putting it too politely, see below).
I'm assuming anyone so evolved as to be reading this is well aware that the multitude of gaffes by Tit George during his latest international carnival may have nadir'd in an infamous "neckrub." I'm not going to try to track down the incriminating pictorials here. It shouldn't be hard to find them. A google with "Merkel" and "neck" might be a start. In essence, your prez walked up behind the leader of Germany and spontaneously, in public, with cameras rolling, began giving her a neck massage or throttle. She did not take well to this.
The blogosphere coverage of this that I attend to has been about as entertaining as you can imagine. I will limit myself to this mild excerpt from Froomkin's daily Washington Post blog, but encourage further exploration for those still interested in democracy. This bit seems to me to perfectly embody the sad media-Bush parasitism. Even the progressive folks seem to focus on silly stuff. Yes, of course he is a dolt with no social skills! Look at his parents!! They are all deathly allergic to accountability and responsibility, dontcha know? Sucking money out of us rubes is the only thing they have. Face it - he's never seen what we would consider responsible behavior in a parent.
So, of the links here, the one that comes closest to actually offering factual meaningful insights is the last one. The rest are highly entertaining, I grant, but we have business to focus on, and the issue it seems to me is how actually sociopathic, sick, and depraved George Tit truly is.
Oh yes. And what we do about it.

On the Crooks and Liars blog, John Amato has photos and video of -- and links about -- Bush's unsolicited neck massage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a G-8 session on Sunday.
The German Magazine Bild calls it "Bush's Love-Attack on Merkel" and, according to a predictably hilarious Babelfish translation , writes something along the lines of: "From the rear it creeps verschmitzt at Kanzlerin Angela Merkel near, surprises it with a lightning Massage.
James Gerstenzang of the Los Angeles Times described the incident as "a lesson in body language."
But over on the Majikthise blog, Lindsay Beyerstein writes much less charitably: "Every woman will recognize the guy who sidles up and starts 'casually' giving you a backrub without even looking at you, because he wants to preserve deniability in case you freak out. Like any practiced groper, Bush stares right past Merkel as she recoils from his touch."
