MIKE Hunter's smaller car thesis??

You know, when you make up things about the President, you hurt your
argument.

You should know better.

After all, he does so much to hurt his own cause.

Because I'm a nice guy, I'll give you one chance to recant your statement
before I provide you with video footage of Bush inappropriately touching the
chancellor, and her reaction.

Do you recant your statement?

Do you recant your statement?

 

Why would I recant my statement? I have no knowledge of the President
touching her in any appropriate way, and your state behavior to date
doesn't give me much confidence in your statement.

It was on TV news broadcasts at the time, & if you Google "Bush German
Chancellor" you can find articles about it, along w/video, no problem. He
gave her an uninvited shoulder massage as he passed behind her chair, & her
body language reaction was along the lines of "Arghhh" or "Iccck!"

I would not use the word "fondle" to describe this.

Jeff, you really need to become a better citizen and pay attention to the
news.

I play in a band, so obviously, I spend lots of time observing drunk people.
What Bush did is pretty common* behavior for drunk guys in bars. They have
no clue about the physical space that most people consider the norm. They
walk up to a woman and massage her shoulders, but since they have no idea
how to do it, they annoy the woman, and perhaps give her a muscle knot that
hurts for 20 minutes.


A second definition, applicable to Bush's behavior in the video:
Common - 5 a: falling below ordinary standards : second-rate b: lacking
refinement : coarse

You wouldn't, but her reaction clearly indicated that it was inappropriate
and undesirable.

I would! Men do *not* go around giving women shoulder rubs unless they are
close to eachother & it's understood to be an invited touch.

We saw what? six seconds of action? We don't know the context. It could
have been highly offensive or just a joke or a gesture of friendship.
And, IMHO, her reaction indicated surprise at an unexpected shoulder
massage.

From what I've read, it was just a friendly gesture that had no sexual
connotation at all.

At any rate, I disagree with calling this 3 second shoulder rub,
undesirable or not, "fondling."

Look at her facial expression & the tenseness of her shoulders, up in the
air. That overture was obviously *not* a welcome one. (I hope Laura gave
him hell about it later; nothing to do w/jealousy, but re: the
inappropriateness of the touch.)

The context? They're at a friggin' conference table at the G8 summit, in
front of television cameras, you knucklehead!

How old are you?
