(4) Does Bush commonly feel-up male heads of state?
You've seen the picks of him and the Saudi king (or whomever it was) right?
I used that argument with Chatty!co-worker -- "Does Bush grope male heads of state?" -- and his reply was "We don't know that he *doesn't.*" And he was serious. I said, "Well, there's never been any news coverage of him groping male heads of state," and Chatty said "That still doesn't mean that Bush doesn't do it."
He's the ultimate relativist, and it drives me utterly utterly batshit.
Sexual or not, still really inappropriate.

Aside from holding hands or receiving belly kisses?
It's condescending and overly familiar, from what I can tell. And, yeah, unlikely to do that to a guy.
It seems I left my favourite swimsuit in Jamaica.
And that my Powerbook power supply is dead.
Question(s): (1) Do you think that Bush's grope-y gropiness was sexual in any way? (2) Do you think that, in general, adult men in Western society are aware of the connotations of touching women? (3) How was my statement sexist?
I'm not sure I'd call it sexual, exactly (though that could be because my mind runs screaming away from the concept, with this man involved), thought it could be there, for sure.
Definitely a dominance behavior*, though, in a very gendered way.
And I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

He's got a point, for that matter we don't really know that Bush doesn't slaughter puppies for fun. We only suspect that he doesn't.

We do?
[edit: Okay, having now looked at this series of stills, I'm gonna have to side with Team Inappropriately Gendered Touching. I don't know that I'd call it "sexual" but I'd definitely call it "sexist."]

That sounds more like Cheney anyway. Or Karl Rove.

Rove might do it for fun. Cheney probably does it for sustenance. Bush would have some religious hoo-ha to explain it.
Ooh, Pink's
Dear Mr. President
just popped up on the iTunes.
Teppy, I recommend directing Chatty McClueless to this post at Alternet.
