YOUR REACTION: Fmr. Pres. George W. Bush shakes hands with Haitians, immediately wipes hand on fellow Fmr. Pres. Bill Clinton's shirt.

My reaction: I don't care whether he does have an ocd need to wash hands, this is unacceptable. He is still representing our country - still being paid approx $200,000/year, in fact. Have an aide carry around hand sanitizer, and DISCREETLY use it; but, don't pull a faux pas like that!

My reaction was I laughed. I laughed because what do you expect from a man like George W. Bush? Come on, does this surprise anyone? He's a few sausages short of a BBQ and has been for years.

The arrogance and the elitism and the "holier than thou" attitude have been his trademarks during his presidency and why would they stop now. Do you think he ever really cared? The Iraq wars, the uncontrolled spending, the arms race he perpetuated throughout his term of office....

This behaviour consistent with his moral fibre, in other words, he has none.

I also laughed. Spending time with Bush is what Clinton gets for having the incapability to get Gore win the 2000 Presidential elections. lol Poor Clinton . . . I'm sure he always pray for a heart attack whenever he goes to public functions with Bush.

That seems like the action of a inconsiderate and oafish bafoon.
Former President Bush sure seemed like he would have arrogantly wiped his hand on whomever was conveniently there in front of him. Unsanitary not to mention classless and disrespectful actions like this will never be helpful to the image of a public figure. I wonder if he apologized to former President Clinton or the Haitian he must have obviously confused and shamed by his actions.

While it certainly made me laugh, I don't feel as strongly about it. Yes I am almost assuredly one of the first to pick on W, but I don't think this was supposed to be snooty or insulting, just thoughtless.

Put your mind inside that Texas head of his. Imagine you just had a tasty plate of ribs or were tossing back a frosty cold O'douls. You want to pick up your chainsaw to do a little brush clearing so you just wipe your hands on whatever is closest. Regrettably it may be your new blue button-down or the Shroud of Turin but a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.

I suppose I would react with some questions. What did the Haitian guy have on his hands that caused Bush to want to wipe them off? Was it just sweat or something more nefarious like ass grease? Would it have been just as rude to wash them with hand sanitizer or was he supposed to keep shaking hands with others while trying to forget his hands are dirty?
