Still not ready for prime time…
In the video, we have two former presidents in Haiti working what is essentially a rope line, shaking hands with local residents. Behind the presidents but out of view are Secret Service personnel and staffers, at least some of whom are equipped — as they are for every similar situation — with wipes, disinfectant soap and hand lotion.
In the video, we see George W. Bush, the blue-blood from the “let them eat cake” wing of the Republican aristocracy, shaking hands down the line until he apparently feels something gross on his hand. So he pauses, and instead of asking a staffer for a tissue, he reaches over and wipes his hand on the first available clean cloth he can find, which happens to be the shirt of Pres. Clinton.
Is this an expression of his disdain for Pres. Clinton because he’s a Democrat or a commoner, or both? Or is just a revealing look at how truly feral and uncultured Bush is?
And why send him to Haiti in the first place? As we saw during his criminally negligent response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Bush has no empathy for under-privileged people, especially those of African descent.
He’s showing his compassionate conservatism. LOL
I’m pretty sure it’s just Bush being feral and uncultured. It’s a sign of his pathology.
Still a class act, that dubya.
Haiti cooties!
