Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, you may remember, experienced a strange touch from GW Bush that sent her into a rather obvious little fit of revulsion. The clearly unwelcomed contact had been long forgotten until the recent positions of Ms Merkel on international relations:
Professor Chanukah Bush: "It is as if the arrogant and go it alone isolationist selfish international politics of George W passed into the body and mind of the Chancellor of Germany. Since the torturing Texan's touch, Merkel has emerged on the world stage as the Bush of the European Union."
Tapes stolen from Merkel's psychiatrist support the claim. One session involves Angela relating one of her reoccuring dreams:
"I am at a conference and a stranger approaches me and gives me an unrequested backrub. I react like a prude and later suffer from typical German self-hatred concerning cold emotional reactions. From that time on I feel like the stranger is inside me pulling all of the levers and manipulating the strings..."
