I could not believe it but it happened. Mr. G. Bush thought he was at his Texas ranch and the good old boy put his hands on Ms. Angela Merkel.

How does submitting to George Bush’s insults and going along with his insanely belligerent policies make her “powerful”?
If someone uses your head as a battering ram and breaks down a door with it, does that make you feel “powerful”?
I suppose Merkel would say to herself, “Wow, look at the awesome damage my master was able to inflict with my compliant head!
“I must certainly be very feared and respected!”

Contrary to her predecessor Shroeder who stood up to Bush’s war in iraq, Merkel follows out of favor Tony Blair as Bush’s lapdog, thus the crowning of most powerful woman. Angela Merkel alone does not carry much weight in the international arena.
