political signal-boosting
Jul. 19th, 2006 09:48 amEw, ew, ew, ew, ew. President Bush sneaks up behind Chancellor Merkel and gives her a surprise backrub.
Ew. I feel dirty and I couldn't even bear to watch the video.
EDIT: Here's another link:
SFGate.com has an article with two quotes that caught my eye. One sad:
GOP commentator and Fox News political analyst Karen Hanretty said the outraged reaction shows how "President Bush just can't win."
"Aren't these the same women who have been angry about cowboy diplomacy?" she asked. "Do they want a kinder, more sensitive Bush -- or a cowboy? Once again, there's no pleasing women," she said."
and one, er, well, I thought it was pretty funny:
Whalen quipped: "There are those who say the President should be more Clintonesque ... maybe he misunderstood what they meant."
