George and Koizumi, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. W and the prime minister of Japan look like a bunch of punch drunk idiots, frolicking about Graceland eating fried peanut-butter and banana sandwiches and singing Elvis tunes, and Bush giggling at Koizumi's antics and gushing over and over what a "good buddy" and "best international friend" he is. I think I'm going to go into diabetic shock if I have to watch old footage of them lobbing a ball back and forth again. Whoever thought up that photo-op should be tarred and feathered. I mean, what grown businessmen play "catch" together? Up next, a U.S.-Japan whiffle-ball match. Bush and Koizumi making their Slinkies go down stairs and chasing each other on the White House lawn with Supersoakers. Bush and Koizumi t.p.-ing the Pentagon, leaving a flaming bag of dog-crap on Senator Kerry's doorstep. Rolling in the sand laughing as the tide washes in around them. Cue music and slo-mo "falling-in-love" montage. But maybe this is the beginning of a change of heart for Bush on the gay-marriage front. I think what we have here is a case of a man-crush.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
