Bill Clinton and George W. Bush's humanitarian visit to earthquake-torn Haiti. At about the 50-second mark you can clearly see George W. Bush, having taken all the hand-shaking he can handle, wipe his hand off on the back of Clinton's shirt. You can almost hear him say "Yucky."

Stay classy, Dubya.

47. Yep. You are so right.
Dubya learned how to be empathetic from his momma who, as we all know, strengthened her popularity ratings with the poor after her remarks about Katrina victims.

The apple doesn't fall far, does it?

52. Interesting, You Should Say That
I was telling my son, though I certainly didn't agree with Bush One's politics, he was much more of a gentleman than Dubya. I proceeded to say, he must have more of his mama's genes! lol

2. It does not look like B*sh is enjoying himself there. Looks like he wants to run
away, seems uncomfortable.

I think this trip is good for him :-).

10. I noticed that as well...
Clinton seems to enjoy trying to help others in need. I know I would love to be in a position like Bush or Clinton or any ex-president. Seriously, look at the living ex-pres and which ones travel the world trying make it a better place and which ones just fade into the background.

Maybe that is not being fair to the Bush family but that is my impression...Carter & Clinton have devouted their lives to helping others.

Do either Bush do the same work as Clinton & Carter? Am I being unfair?

Because if they do then I do not want to discredit them just because I disagree politically.

HELP?

29. Yes, Clinton sees the greatness of America in helping others and Bush- in killing others.
I don't think that's an unfair statement at all.

38. Clinton sees the amazing photo op
Bush Jr is just the spoiled little brat, who was sent there by his daddy so that he can learn from one of his close pals about how to conduct oneself in the post-presidency years.

Apparently, the dumbass can't even manage to get that right.

24. he's just one big mistake.
He was a bad president and now is a bad ex-president. Waste of space. He clearly doesn't want to be there. Seems disconnected and impatient to get back to his recliner and teevee.

31. Anyone else see the irony in this?
Maybe a couple of metaphors about how Democrats always have to clean up after republicans, I'm sure there's a joke or 2 in there also.

37. How bout this little BS ...
remember the meme in 99 about "who would you like to have a beer with" cause he was just one of the guys ...

OR the bullspit that even arsehat MSMers like Chris Mathews spewed about both Gore and Kerry that "most americans think that if they were broke down on the side of the road, Bush would stop to give them a hand, while elitists like Gore/Kerry would just drive by" ...

Remember all that horsesnot ...

39. ... I always found the "having a beer with Bush" angle to be amusing
Apparently, most people were unfazed by what the republicans were saying with that meme: that a supposedly recovering alcoholic was their preferred choice of drinking partner. The fact that so many people not only agreed with that meme, but they believed it wholeheartedly.... led me to believe that the percentage of assholes in our population must be rather large indeed.

3. What a piece of shit he is.
Put out to be there.

Ordering his aide around: "Yeah, c'mon!".

Wiping his hand on the Big Dog as if he's afraid touching all of those black people will give him something.

The Big Dog wades into the middle of the poor and hurting
and shows them love and respect but Mr. Silver Spoon
looks uncomfortable and wipes his hand on Clinton's shirt
after having to touch "one of them."

bush used to have an aid w/ hand sanitizer that he would use
after shacking somebody's hand.

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama visited the White House on Monday for his first post-election meeting with President
George W. Bush. Obama, who will take office on January 20. According to Obama, Bush seems like a germophobic, neat-freak.
After meeting with Bush and finally meeting at the oval office, the two men shook hands and then, according to Obama, Bush
turned to an aide, "who squirted a big dollop of hand sanitizer in the president's hand." Bush then offered some to Obama,
who recalled: "Not wanting to seem unhygienic, I took a squirt.

I wonder, Does the old man allow him to join their foursome on the links still ?
Or has he been reduced to ball boy status.

46. Trailer Trash... watch his hand after he shakes
he attempts to wring it in the air then sees clinton and tries to pass it off as a swipe
Something an 8 year old would do

Even Free Republic knows what he did and laughed at it
but apparently you guys a
think its no big deal... or it didn't happen.

But I guess we know why.

50. I can only speak for myself, but Bush touching Clinton's shoulder
looked innocuous to me. If he'd have sloshed it back and forth vigorously I might say something different.

27. Yeah, that's the way I saw it too.
But Bush clearly is not comfortable in these surroundings (and Clinton so obviously is). What's amazing to me is that Clinton just had a heart attack and yet, a few weeks later, there he is helping out in Haiti. Bush simply can't measure up.

26. Does either Clinton or Bush speak French?
Bush looks totally confused -- as usual. Clinton figures out what to do in a split second. Which one do you think is smarter? This is the real difference between Democrats and Republicans. The term "conservative" is a euphemism for rigid and lacking in imagination or empathy.
