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.
What, pray tell, would Bill Clinton have done?
Do you really have to ask? They'd still be looking for his teeth after she spiked him for his interpretation of what "want to?" is.
Is.

What in God's green earth is she offering her "backside" to the President anyway?

can they think of the huge taxes that we are paying? i surely hope that our two presidential candidates have their own plan about this..because earlier i saw a video in pollclash about this one and i think that Obama has a better plan than McCain has..,
well you can just saw the video in http://pollclash.com

I have to believe that Jacque's comment here was posted to the wrong thread... unless either Obama or McCain are talking about taxing butt slaps and somehow I missed it.
Carry on.
