Bush gropes the German PM

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.

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.
