Sweet Jumping Moses -I am not a man to make fun of political leaders (ahem) but dammit. George. Seriously. Check the microphone before cussin', quit making suggestions to the president of Russia that he should submit to American hegemony, and for the love of Pete DON'T GIVE MASSAGES TO WORLD LEADERS WHO AREN'T TONY BLAIR (its not an office Christmas party circa 1954, dammit). Or maybe the Koizumi. I dunno'.
I know, Trivia Doug. I know. There are wars, there's another tsunami, there's global warming, the national debt, and Pam Anderson is engaged again. But I couldn't hold it in anymore.
George. Please. Its the friggin' G8. You're not there for fun.
Oh, and if you get angry at anyone who critiques the president, sorry. Let me just say this. Don't just say, "screw those Europeans." Maybe they aren't "fun" and maybe they can be "jerks" but they have most of the other key economies and they share 95% of our political, economic, and social values. We. Need. Them.
PS - That look on Merkel's face is pretty hilarious.

Trivia Doug sez:
Here's, for me, the distinction between a Bush-being-an-idiot story that isn't fit for news and a Bush-being-an-idiot story that is fit for news.
One that's not:
--Bush saying "shit" over a live microphone. The only people who care about this are, uh, my fundamentalist parents? Maybe? Besides, if anything was newsworthy, it was the comments about Syria as a kind of listen-to-how-world-leaders-talk-behind-the-scenes kind of deal. And that's pushing it, Mister.
One that is:
When the F***ER gives an unsolicited massage to the leader of another country at a G-8 meeting. Didn't ESPN fire Harold Reynolds for basically the same thing?!? And his act was at an Outback Steakhouse!
I give you retroactive permission to post an entry about this story. :-)
