MIKE Hunter's smaller car thesis??

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

How old are you?

 

If that's what GWB thought, he better get a clue, re: social norms.

The CBS news describes her reaction as: "The chancellor immediately
hunches her shoulders, throws her arms up and grimaces, though she
appears to smile as Mr. Bush walks away."

How horrible.

Gee, it didn't look like a bar to me. I saw no evidence that Bush was
drunk, and to the best of my knowledge, Bush has not had a drink since
before he first ran for President.

I am not going to judge him on a silly little backrub when I all I saw
was 5 seconds of video out of context.

Unless you have something substantial to add to this conversation, I am
not going to reply to you again on this.

IMHO, it was a innocent should rub, a sign of friendship.

Your jumping to a conclusion that Mr. Bush was drinking and calling it
fondling, IMHO, is totally off-base.

She was surprised. The is what her facial expression shows to me. She
appeared to smile as he walked away.

I know what the overall context is, but I don't know whether they were
just meeting or chatting a few minutes before they were sitting down or
what. That is the context to which I am referring.

I fail to see what the big deal of this is.

A shoulder rub when hundreds of thousands of American lives are
disrupted by a war? This disccussion is a waste of electrons.

Unless you have somethng substantial to say, I won't have anything else
to say on it.

I didn't say alcohol had anything to do with his behavior in the video. I
mentioned the bar because alcohol *does* cause some people to lose touch
with what is appropriate behavior. If anything, the conclusion you could
draw was that Bush, being sober, should've known better.

When I touch a woman's shoulders, she definitely does not throw her hands up
in the air. She melts.

Translation: You are rationalizing bad behavior because you are deeply in
love with Bush.

"I know how hard it is to put food on your family". He said that. What do
you think about that statement?

A hint to you then, just in case: Do not emulate GWB. Whether you're at a
mtg. or not, do not rub a female colleague's shoulders as you walk by her.
There's a good chance it won't be particularly well received.

Why, the swine! Guys at work occasionally do that to me, too, and I'm mostly
bald. She reacted much like a traditional Navajo does if you extend your
hand to shake theirs. Darned cultural differences.

I think you are too much concerned about appearance and too little concerned
about substance. GWB has never claimed to be good at speaking
exemporaneously, and I share the same problem. It is amazing to me that some
people are articulate, or can play musical instruments, or can juggle
chainsaws. Not all of the people who can do those things are very
intelligent, though; those are merely individual talents.

Just ignore the malicious gossip and you will do better.

We'll agree to differ on the subject, then. I have my own list of
qualifications for certain jobs. Clear communication is at the top of my
list for a president, and Bush does not meet that qualification unless he
has a script.

The concept of communication from the president to the public is a very
recent one, one I feel mirrors the rise of the entertainment industry as
each is dependent on commmunication technology. Personally, I would not want
a glib incompetent in the office. I acknowledge that a lot of people feel
President Bush is an incompetent and that is certainly their right. But I
can't recall a single accusation that he failed to clearly instruct the
people who report to him, and that is the real importance of communication
ability.

You are aware that the overwhelming majority of quotations ascribed to
politicians are fabricated, and it is to your credit you used one that
wasn't.
