. . . That’s how German Chancellor Angela Merkel found herself at Camp David over the weekend (and on Monday in Chicago for a NATO summit with 60 mostly-men world leaders) for a meeting of G-8 leaders to talk about the intertwined economies of the U.S , France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Canada, Japan and Russia and the looming debt crisis.

. . . She’s often the only woman in the room at all of those meetings she attends. Wonder if she’s lonely for female companionship.

. . . She seems to be the only leader that President Obama kisses when they meet. All the others are handshakes, very hetero.
