I've been going to business meeting for the last 20 years. I've seen it more than a few times, and have done it myself. It's done to men or women, before the start of a meeting when someone enters while others are seated. It's the equivlalent of a hello to someone you know well. Nothing more, nothing less. If you watch the video, he did not stand there rubbing her neck. he gave her a squeeze hello. Not only appropriate, but relatively common. Her reaction was what made it comical. OMG
Almost fell off my chair!
A voice of reason...

I never said it was a big deal. I just said it was inappropriate. We can agree to disagree, but that doesn't make me a basher or you a bot, now does it?
Nope - just makes you - IF you watched the VIDEO - obtuse to make such a judgment...or, one of the "so blinded by hate" you see what you want to ...or maybe just a really, really uptight guy/gal.
Take three deep breaths before you post for the 20th ? time...

If you believe this is ALWAYS wrong, then you're more a slave to feminist-think and political correctness than you realize. Exactamundo, macamadamia!

"Personally, my head would explode if I had to try to find so many ways to justify his behavior."
You don't seem to have any head explosion problems when it comes to 'so many ways' of slaming President Bush. Maybe you should try hating a little less and laughing a little more.

"I do not accept that any presidential behavior short of BJs in the office is now okay. (And I do not mean to suggest that this behavior of Bush is remotely in the cagegory; I would never have thought of the comparison myself.)"
If you read my # 57 you'll see that I also don't think there's any comparison. Was Bush's behaviour even boorish? I don't know.

Remember BC's juvenile comments regarding the mummy? That didn't seem to upset anyone on the left. Talk about undignified.

Good point. You know slick Willie could shake his willie at women that didn't want it--this is with the cameras off, but President Bush can't touch someone in a jovial manner in public with the cameras rolling. The left is so upside down on every issue.
To: TXBubba
LOL!! It IS funny!
Especially knowing what the kookburgers are probably going to say about it.

It was fun, nothing more or less. It´s also a proof of the good relations he has with her.

You just talk to hear yourself talking, don't you? At least I don't use 'private reply' to call people nasty names that would otherwise get one banned -
