    Great...more embarrassment for us.

    This is just another line of very embarrassing things that our president has done. Just like the first one where a reporter asked about the US role when the Isreal/Lebanon conflict was just beginning and he thought the reporter was going to ask about the pig being served for dinner. Just like when he said that he hopes Russia becomes like Iraq since he assumes Iraq is now a perfect democracy complete with freedom of the press. Where smartly replied Putin replied "I'd rather it not." Now this? Thinking he can freely touch the Prime Minister of Germany because she is woman? Blah. This president is becoming a joke throughout the world who starting to show more of his ignorance and stupidity in very public places. Laura Bush says that none of her husband's good news appears in papers anymore. That's because, Mrs. Bush, everything that your husband does isn't good news to begin with. And it's a all a joke...and not the good kind of joke either.
