Just watched the video posted at MediaBistro, and ooookay, that was worse that I'd thought. What the hell, that wasn't an accidental brushing-against-someone's-chest while hugging, that was intentionally putting his hand up and grabbing her breast. What the frack. She looked distinctly uncomfortable (but playing along because it was her job) from the first that he got up on stage, and he was juvenile the whole time anyway, but good grief. Arsehole!

Also. I just saw the video and I agree with you--it was totally intentional, and totally not part of the "flow" of the joking. It was so weirdly out of left field, I could only process it as a dominance display.

And it really was a freakishly odd thing to do.
