bush pilot, was hast du getan?

By now, many of you have probably seen the grainy video footage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel quickly rebuffing George Bush's awkward attempt to give her a neck massage at a global summit. If you haven't, there are YouTube vids aplenty depicting this embarassing scene.

The maneuver has been jokingly referred to as a "sex attack" in the blogosphere, but few folks have actually delved deep enough to learn the real reasons Bush did what he did. Fortunately, and with a little help from the foreign press, I think I may have figured it out.

The answer, oddly enough, can be found in an amazing video report done by German news network NDR some time ago. I'm not generally a fan of circulating Bush-related humor, for the simple fact that there is so much of it and it's all rather depressing once you stop laughing and realize he is our elected leader. However, the "Bush Pilot" feature is a cut above the rest.

My theory is that the "Bush Pilot" (also known as Johannes Schlüter) has been pent up in the "Kopfpit" for much too long now, and couldn't resist showing some physical affection for the female leader of his home nation.
