Bush: (Almost) Slappin Asses in Beijing
Bush knuckled off a couple of lobs, but defending gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh gave the chief executive some pointers. Then after a good play, in the tradition of female volleyballers, May-Treanor turned, bent over slightly and offered her bikinied rear-end for the 43rd president to slap.
"Mr. President," she said, "want to?"
Want to has nothing to do with it in public life.
As the son of a president, a husband of nearly 37 years, the father of two daughters, the subject of some attempted tabloid exposes and a seasoned political veteran, who is not a female athlete but knows that every camera for a half-mile is trained on him, Bush wisely chose instead to brush his hand across the small of May-Treanor's back.

9:00 PM EST UPDATE: Dude, now he's on with Bob Costas, just leaning back and bullshitting. To his credit, Bob's peppering him with questions about China's human rights record and the situation in Georgia. But Bush's on autopilot, sporting a "hey Bobby I'm on vacation here" kinda glaze. Hey, quick question: What the fuck is he doing over there? Shouldn't he be, ya know, RUNNING OUR COUNTRY? After all, we're only knee-deep in two wars. Not like our economy is fucked or anything. First sitting US president to attend an Olympic games on foreign soil, by the way.
Dude.
