Predictably, the echo chamber jumped all over this (even sometimes getting their facts wrong). Said jumpers include Peter DiGaudio, Charlie Sykes, the Prozak Playground, Ol' Broad, James Harris, and the whole WISGOP.
But before they keep going on like this, they would do well to remember that the Queen would probably prefer getting an iPod, rather than assaulted:
UPDATE: Media Matters is reporting that the Queen actually asked for the iPod. How rude of Obama to give a requested gift like that!

Dude. You are on an epic downhill slide.
ReplyDeleteWrong queen, sweetheart.
Um, I'm going downhill? Merkel isn't a queen, she is the German Chancellor. You know, another type of leader of state?
ReplyDeleteThis was the first thing to make me laugh this morning. In the still shots it looks like Bush is doing something inappropriate to Merkel...but if you click on the link the video doesn't seem nearly as odd. I'm pretty sure Bush and Merkel had a good relationship and I don't think she felt "assaulted". You know...not everyone hated Bush.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo...this was a funny read.
I miss George Bush.

ReplyDeleteShe might not have used the term assaulted, but Merkel's discomfort is pretty obvious.
Janet-
I hope that was typed tongue in cheek.

ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't get back to this post. No, I really, really miss President Bush. And that's typed sticking my tongue out at you like a little brat.
LOL!
