'Grope' and 'Creepy'

Sounds like liberals to me -- groping for a coherent thought, and creepy when they find one.

[AngieGOP]

Yet the had no problem with Clinton getting his knob polished in the Oval Office. Go figure.

Find Bill Clinton under "Presidential Rapist"

Rubbing a she-German is good luck.
Everyone knows that. Or should.

Wow, Mess-NBC really is doing the really intelligent, substance-based journalism here with this kind of thought-provoking coverage. Can these loonies ever get their deranged minds off of whatever it is Bush is doing?? The Middle East is on the verge of all out war and all the vapid class and professional foamers can do is obsess over a friendly gesture by the president? Get help.

Dear MSNBC,

Chancellor Merkle did not complain. You bunch of dirty-minded, trouble-making b@$t@rd$!

[rhombus]

Where's that video of Bill Clinton groping the stewardess's thigh that was floating all over the internet during impeachment?

[Crawdad]

If my wife ever saw me doing to another woman what the President did to Angela Merkel, she would cut off some things of mine.

[loreldan]

I have to admit, although Pres. Bush didn't have bad intentions, I don't like it when people do it to me. I'm a male. Sometimes when my boss comes up behind me he does that. He actually does it to everybody. He's not gay, so I guess it's his way of saying hello, but I hate it.

[Frank_Discussion]

How does one "grope" someone's shoulders? Pathetic, even for the MSM.

As I posted in another thread, this is the scene from the day after the date in question.

US President George W. Bush holds the hand of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as Mexican President Vicente Fox talks with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, during a group photo at the G8 Summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, Monday July 17, 2006.(AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev)

It was pretty creepy looking,but could well have been photo shopped or at least edited to be taken out of context.

Ive seen no papers, even German papers making an issue of this.
To the contrary I keep seeing reports on what a great relationship GWB and AM have.

It seems to me that this "incident" is being purely driven by Moonbat websites.

[johnny7]

What does she call Clinton's hand-slide to the nether-regions with that flight attendant... a hearty, Arkansas hello?

[jla]

After looking at the video it appears that Merkel was smiling as GWB walked away. Of course the embodiment of hypocrisy, also known as liberals, see not how ridiculous they look by their pretense of acting appalled over a brief, friendly shoulder rub juxtaposed with their silence, and oft tacit approval, of various Clinton offenses directed to the opposite sex.

[Gondring]

It's true that the video is listed under those terms...and is described in the title that way. It wasn't entered by MSNBC that way, but by a poster of the video, who described the video thus:

After stumbling from Putin's smackdown at his suggestion that Russia ought to emulate the democracy in Iraq to babbling about wanting to eat a pig to getting caught on tape cursing while chomping on a roll, Bush channeled the Creepy Guy at Work who gives a female coworker an unwanted massage, much to his repulsed target's chagrin.

While I'm sure Bush meant it in a friendly way, it really is a sign of disrespect for another head of state and for the forum in which they were meeting. If someone had shown up in a t-shirt, would FReepers be saying, "ah, it's just the informal way of that leader"? Would we laugh it off if Chirac patted President Bush on the head sometime?

[mewzilla]

At least 43 keeps his butt covered.

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

Has Condi seen this yet? What was her reaction?!?!
