How Very Serious
You know, yesterday, it was "Bush used a bad word". Today it's "Bush groped Angela Merkel". Greg Tinti has the video at Outside the Beltway. Said "groping' lasts under a second in real time, involves hands on shoulders and it really is impossible to tell what Merkel's reaction really is. I'd say, offhand that she may have been startled. (I react very like that when someone touches my shoulder from behind and I was not aware of them being there).
But these critics are serious players in the Democratic party - or want to be. There's a vast silence on the left over events in the Middle East, other than the mandatory "it's all Bush's fault" so I guess they have to fill up their bandwidth with something.
Funny, I had a lefty here taking me to task for my humor, but I think I see the real joke now.
UPDATE: Allah, of course, nails it.

Doubtless, they are genuinely concerned about the international manure hitting the rotary air-impeller.
Besides, don’t German PM’s LIKE being groped? I’m pretty sure the Schroeder and Chirac did their share…
