Good Times at the G8

There have been some interesting photos coming out of the G8 summit that took place last week in Germany. Bush, Merkel, and Blair got together with some other world leaders to solve the world's problems over a few cold ones.











It looks like they were having a good time, but Bush certainly didn't impress anyone with his beer pouring skills.

As you can see, Angela Merkel looks a bit concerned as Dubya quickly empties his bottle into the upright glass.










She politely looks away as his glass overflows.










Video of the scene here:




I have to say I am a bit disappointed in Dubya... he should know how to pour a beer properly. Isn't he supposed to be a Texan? Besides that, I don't think this is the first beer he has consumed. Then again, Bush has been on the wagon for a while now, so maybe he forgot. (The beer they were drinking was non-alcoholic).

It is good to see Bush and Merkel getting along so well. Of course this is not the first time they have been chummy... Bush's impromptu shoulder rub at last year's G8 also raised some eyebrows.



He may not have been able to provide solutions to global poverty or carbon emissions, but Dubya never fails to deliver quality unintentional humor.
