Not defending him...

SDAI-Tech1 — 7/22/2006 5:29:46 AM (archived)

...merely pointing out the pattern. Bush is plenty dysfunctional on various levels.

Growing up a child of a self-absorbed politician will do things to people. Some pick up quirks that they can't get rid of. And once they become President, they need to see a "scandal" made of their behavior to see it in a different perspective.

Bush will likely think twice now -or he may forge ahead unwavered by media attention on his touchy-feelies.

When dealing with someone who is touchy-feely, A woman (or man) should make it real clear she (he) finds such inappropriate the first time it happens. She (he) can grab the person's hands and say, "I'm sorry, but that makes me very uncomfortable" or something similar.

A touchy-feely should get the message and not try a repeat performance.
