Bush gropes the German PM

[Onkel Neal]

The German Prime Minister is apparently a woman... I saw a clip at one of the meetings where Pres. Bush walks up behind her and "rubs" her shoulders... weird! She spazzes out with some kind of date rape prevention move and Bush scurries away. I'm surprised Skybird hasn't worn out 3 keyboards on this already. That's got to be Bush's goofiest moment yet :rotfl: What? No love for the Hungarian PM?

[Gizzmoe]

OMG! :dead: :lol:

Here´s the video:

Hahahaha!

This Proves again that Bush is...well, Y'know. Wierd.

Another funny Bush thing:

Go to Google and enter "failure" (Without the "'s) and klick on the First site that appears...your gonna ROTFL! :yep:

[Yahoshua]

same thing with weaponsofmassdestruction (cut and paste into google, it's really funny).

[Torplexed]

Bush looked into Putin's soul and saw a fellow inappropriate toucher. ;)

This whole incident reminds me of Australian ex-PM Paul Keating placing his hands upon the back of the Britsh Monarch.

By memory the UK press dubbed him the "Lizard of Oz"

Man these leaders don't think before they act :lol: :lol:

Edit: Looking at the pic above, the man on the left looks dejected and feeling left-out!

[Iceman]

LMAO...:rotfl:

[P_Funk]

True Bush is weird and he is the most publically embarassing world leader... well ever I think. I mean Nixon has some leverage with the whole Mommy complex thing and Ford loved to fall down like an Italian Soccer player to get international attention. But the crowning achievement of embarassment has to belong to Bush's daddy. I mean he puked on the Japanese Prime Minister (or pres I forget). I mean, how do you come back from that?
If he were in the G8 high school he's be getting pants'd. I mean he wouldn't have been able to get to the war in time for a retaliation strike of rotten eggs.

[Torplexed]

I'd rather have Bush fumbling at my shoulder blades than Putin slobbering on my belly.

Actually I'd rather have neither....:lol:

The pic filled the title page of Bild two or three days ago.I had an even better pic, Schroeder and Chirac emracing each other but with an expression of pain on their faces as if both just had been stabbed in their backs. Lost it, sorry.

What a dip? Very presidential.

[Mike 'Red Ocktober' Hense]

still not as bad as his father throwing up in the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister (?)...

ok... so the guy has a back fetish...

hey...

it could've been worse... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Dirty old man Bush. :rotfl: :rotfl:

Putin's belly kissing tops Bush's feeble attempt to cob a feel.

Bush Sr. puked in the Japanese Prime Minister's lap. When all of you young bastards in this thread get older, and your LES loosens, you'll see just how easy it is to hold back a burp. Much less attend a state function (i.e. the responsibility to attend a diplomatic function) when you're sick with stomach flu and can't afford to have your mind altered by an antiemetic.

None of that matters to these youngsters, it's just another chance to bash someone named Bush.

This latest public gaffe doesn't shock or surprise me in the least - he is a fruitcake and that's the kind of think fruitcakes do; just as when he was caught on camera, during commercial break, grabbing the back of Maria Pope's sweater (David Letterman's producer) and using it to clean his glasses. :roll:

What does surprise me is that he just exercised his first Presidential veto, after 6 years of being a Congressional rubber stamp, to veto federally funded stem cell research. Not that this stops other countries from doing it mind you, but this is an area that the US could be a very big player with all the brain power and bucks there, bringing the fruits of this international research effort to bear that much sooner now.

Nor does it stop private industry from working with stem cells.

New Orleans; couldn't evacuate its people,
U.S. couldn't evacuate its people from Lebenon.

The lesson seems to be do not let Gov't do things tha private industry can do better ala Halibutron, MicroSoft, US Steel, General Motors, the Mom and Pop down the road.

That certainly isn't the lesson. Private industry doesn't do things better than government just because America has no real social safety net. If anything private industry has proven to be inefficient in doing anything except that which is profitable to them. Since the American government these days is being led by CEOs (along with many other govts) and is behaving in the best interests of, surprise!, their close associates the good of the people is left in the dust. Plenty of governments do a bang up job of taking care of its citizens. The US is just so conservative that the second you spend a dollar not on the military you are a heathen.

Here's the thing I have trouble making sense out of though: Bush's spokesman, Tony Snow, when answering why the President vetoed the stem cell research bill, explained it this way "the simple answer is he thinks murder is wrong". Okay, that's fine, I think murder is wrong too.

But why is it only murder if the federal government conducts stem cell research, since as you say, private industry is free to work with stem cells. Or is it that private industry is now allowed to commit murder? I mean, which is it?

I take it you are a proponent of the free market?

I haven't heard Tony Snow on this topic, but this is my take on it, if you don't mind.

Stem Cell research in its self isn't the issue (I think it should be pursued with the utmost speed). The problem comes from where the stem cell are harvested and who should pay for the harvesting and research.

As of the year 2000, the U.S. Gov't reports 25,000 abortions a day in the U.S.
Some folks consider this to be the murder of the un-born, as opposed to the protection of a persons fourth amendment right to privacy as the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade. Today the abortions performed under the Roe v. Wade decision are not funded by the U.S. Gov't, but by contributions to private organization (read corporations).

That is how I see it.

Okay, you bring up an interesting point there. Given that murder in the U.S. is illegal, and that under Roe V. Wade the court ruled, in effect, that abortion was legal and therefore not murder, then, one's personal feelings aside there is no "murder" involved anywhere in the equation of stemcell research whether private or public.

As it stands now, those 25,000 aborted fetuses are medical waste, no matter what one's views on abortion are since it is legal and occuring anyway - unless some of them could be salvaged, and put to good use, through stem cell research. The US Congress and Senate voted in favour of this, while the President used his first ever veto to kill this bill.

The breakthroughs will come anyway, the momentum is there everywhere else, just not from the federal government that once upon a time had the vision to put a man on the moon. I don't get it. Sorry, I just don't.

What you don't get is that Bush doesn't care about the law or what is in the public good. He's following a blind path. He doesn't care what the courts say. He thinks that they're biased to towards the left. He probably considers Roe v. Wade to be a mistake or a Liberal conspiracy that was somehow allowed to get past when the Democrats were in control. Bush is fighting against the society he was elected to guard. Its funny really. Right wingers are always talking about the Left's desire to be social-engineers. Bush is counteracting the will of the two elected bodies of legislation to make sure what HE believes is right happens regardless of the will of the people. Who's the Social Engineer now?

I assumed he was referring to my comment on the American Emperor and was trying to say he is actually a MicroSoft Emperor... odd comment to make on the Groper-in-Chief, I won't pretend to understand it. :lol:
