President Bush at the Beijing Olympics: Is George W. Bush a pervert?

George Bush has wiggled his hips on stage in Liberia, held hands with Saudi Prince Abdullah, and tried to massage a fellow head of state. But one photo opportunity at this weekend's Beijing Olympics made even the famously jocular US president cringe.

The loaded proposal came after Bush made a good play during practice with the women's beach volleyball team. "Mr President, want to?" bikini-clad player Misty May-Treanor asked him.

She was referring to her own bottom. It is a beach volleyball tradition for players to slap one another's backsides after a successful point.

May-Treanor presented her posterior to the president, with cameras poised to capture the moment. Bush - married to wife Laura for more than 30 years - appeared to freeze, but smiled before brushing the back of his hand against the base of her spine.

The encounter prompted some chatter among the press corps. The Los Angeles Times pointed out that the word "backside" was quickly changed to "back" in one captioned photo of the presidential tap.

Asked about May-Treanor's request by the Associated Press, Bush demurred: "I didn't take it very seriously. I guess everything the president does is interesting."

As much as I can't stand George Bush, this is silly. I don't think he's a pervert for doing something like this at all. Talk about trying to search things to make him look bad this is not one of them. Ain't no big thing...

We all like to show our butts once in a while and our president can certainly identify with that.

Would it make sense for him to show that's he's a pervert at a 2 week event that almost everyone in the entire world watches every 4 years WITH his wife there with him?

This is just weak, if it is serious. Even some self-proclaimed Bush-haters say this is a bunch of nonsense.

Notice that none of them ever made that offer to a clinton,bill or hill, because she would probaly catch a VD from the contact.

The poor guy can't win. It's a tradition, he was invited, he brushed her back. If he'd refused then he'd be called a poor sport and the girl would have been insulted. He handled it the best way possible.

Naw...FOR ONCE< he looked like the average joe (well, ok...the average jo would NOT get that close to the athletes as a general rule...still) having a good time. Better there than anywhere CLOSE to the White House. He should have stayed the entire time.

It would always be nice if a married man would never touch another woman, but that's not going to happen. It was pretty nervie of the girl, but no gracious way to get out of it without embarassing or insulting her. I'm sure it doesn't matter in the scheme of things.

When he's not busy signing off the orders to make 9/11 happen and kill 3,000 Americans in a False Flag attack, he's drunkenly playing grab-ass with our volleyball players... I hope this coup is ended soon, and the Bohemian Grove psychos are taken out of power. Come on military coup.. come on..

He is a prevert because he takes joy at killing innocent people in the countries he invades. He is an evil warmongering idiot.
