I thought the whole thing was a big joke. I don't think this was a case of sexual harassment, especially considering that they are really good friends.
Talk about "much ado about nothing". When liberals trash our President for his language, eating habits, and personal space issues I'm reminded why I remain an independent. Discussing his behavior at the G8 seems more important than the substance of the summit (what ever it is). Our President (and his staff) has and will screw up very important things. Why waste our time talking about his frat-boy antics?
We see Bush in scripted moments all the time. This is one of the extremely rare times when he's non-scripted and the cameras/mics caught it allowing the rest of us to see a side of our President that we don't get to see. To me, that's definitely relevent to understanding the type of man that he is.
That's true, and I'll concede that point. I just find it disappointing that with all the crap going on in the world, this is the issue that occupied hours of air time that could have been spent helping people understand the situation in Israel/Lebanon, or what's still happening in Iraq. The insurgency there has all but fallen off the news cycle.

I don't particularly like the guy, but this is a non-issue.
