Non Sequitur: The Business Meeting Massage – That’s Hot
George Bush gives German Chancellor an impromptu back massage at the G-8 Summit. Very appropriate. I think he must be reading too many of those Harlequin Presents Boss/Secretary books.

It’s difficult to see both Merkel’s grimace and the force with which she threw off W’s hands there, but I love the German newspaper’s designation of “Groper and Chief.” This is almost as good as that video where he forgot his mike was on while he was complaining that the speeches by other world leaders were too long, and commenting oh so casually about Middle East policy, all the while eating a roll Britney Spears-style. Maybe he needs a column on world leader summit etiquette.

I’m just speechless about it.
Wait…
Nope. I thought maybe it wasn’t as bad as it looks but wow, it looks bad.

I feel like I shouldn’t find this funny, because it is inappropriate, but Angela Merkel’s reaction is just priceless. Even the New York Post couldn’t spin about this one.

I got wind of the president groping somebody and here you have the video to prove it. Wow. I had to watch that over again and see how strongly did she throw off her arms in reaction to his impromptu massage. Yep, it was pretty bad and completely inappropriate.

Robin – Groper in Chief. Funny. He does need some lessons in something.
CindyS – There is a website somewhere that has screen caps and poor Merkel’s expression was captured quite well.
Devon – It is funny. How can we not laugh.
Keishon – Yep, it’s true. We try to be timely here at DA. ;)
