On the two US News broadcasts I have seen (the CBS and ABC eveing news) they did not report Bush’s little dance at the end of the entertainments in Tblisi, Georgia. One “pop” news programme here used the clip 4 times, including once where they looped it into an even sillier episode.
In one of those “don;t take your father to the disco” moments, Bush put both hands on his hips and wiggled his tush. Unfortunately I do not have the skill with Realplayer to isolate it but for those who do, the episode is at the 2 minute mark in the BBC report on the Georgia trip.
Did this make any of the late evening shows like the Letterman show or Tonight? Have the US MSM just ignored an embarassing Bush episode again?
I saw it on ABC and CNN. Funnily enough, Jon Stewart didn’t cover it tonight … but his riff on bloggers and the news shows that report on bloggers was great.
but I did hear about the Georgia fiesta and about him backslapping the Queen of the Netherlands. Apparently Georgie so enjoyed the ethnic Georgian dancing that he shot his schedule to hell, went to bed hours late, had an impromptu dinner with his Georgian counterpart (the food was seriously recommended by C+ Augustus) and had earlier joined in the dancing mentioned above.
Did anyone see him backslapping the Queen of the Netherlands? Apparently, if looks could kill, W would have been smoked.
Does anyone remember Powell doing the Village People in the Far East? How much coverage did that get?
