Jon Stewart’s Sexual Bush-Merkel Joke Not So Outlandish Anymore…

Bush-Merkel massage
From Comedy Central

On last night’s “Daily Show,” Jon Stewart joked that we were lucky Bush’s “open mike” didn’t pick him up “pointing out some Merkel camel toe,” a lewd sexual reference to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. However, in light of Bush’s just publicized unsolicited massage of Merkel, Stewart is looking prophetic all of a sudden.

(Seriously, what are the odds? Jon Stewart was joking about worst-case scenario—of Bush making an innappropriate sexual gesture towards Merkel when he thought no one was looking—and then it actually came true the very next day!)

    Could be worse larry, you could have President Cheney instead of President Bush.
    I still think Cheney has the hots for Plame and probably outed her cover when she rejected his advances…just joking of course. In all seriousness, Cheney’s wife has all the appeal of a train wreck.

    Don’t you think he could at least “fake” some degree of diplomatic decorum when he is out representing our country? What are his handlers thinking? More important, what do most Americans think? A pity we can’t just lock him up in the White House Tower for the next two years!

    What an dumbass bush is! Couldn’t he remember Cheney’s instructions before he left the house?

    “Chew with your mouth closed”

    “Make sure you don’t speak into an open mike”

    “Keep your hands to yourself”

    I would bet Cheney had the leather strap warmed up when bush got back to the house.

    This really has been a bad trip for Bush overall. This is as bad as the Americans in Lebanon being told they are going to be billed for their rescue from a war zone.
    Never realized Bush had the hots for Merkel despite having an attractive wife. Between the profanity and the groping, I’d say Bush’s second term is still going strong.
