Has any journalist asked Bush, or Tony Snow, about the Merkel massage?

[muriel_volestrangler]

I'd love to see Bush put on the spot about it. If he hasn't taken any questions since the incident, and isn't going to in the next month or so, has anyone asked about it at press briefings? Is there an official 'damage limitation' line? It should be good to see them attempt to explain unwanted phyisical contact without even a word of apology or explanation to the victim.

4. Survey designed to split vote

SURVEY
Which is closest to how you feel about President George W. Bush's quick, uninvited massage to the German chancellor?

1.He embarrassed our country.
2.It was not a wise thing to do, but not a big deal.
3.I don't see what all the fuss is about.
4.It was sexual harassment, period.

Is it just me, are does this survey try and split the vote? #1. Yes it was embarrassing to our country and #2. According to some here at DU, it violated the UN sexual harassment rules.

I could have voted for either #1 or #4, with no problem. Just saying!!

6. I wish people would stop calling it a massage. It looked

more like the thing that high school jerks do of grabbing someone quick and hard on either side of the muscle that runs along the top of the shoulder. Hurts like hell.

7. That was my immediate impression as well ...

8. It didn't look like massage to me either. More of a dominance thing.

The look on her face tells me that it was unexpected and unwelcomed.
