I just finished watching Spike Lee’s “When the Levees Broke” and I think it’s an utter insult to Haiti (and really the whole world) to send this fucking clueless scumbag down there to “help”.
He’s raising money and the profile of the relief effort, and if a stickyhanded person shook his hand during a meet and greet, what funnier place to wipe it before shaking the next hand than right there? Hilarious, but not objectionable.
Sometimes these elder statesmen just need to touch each other. It’s reassuring gesture amid crisis.
Subtle in this video, but, seriously LOL worthy, is Clinton’s “WTF” look as bush is doing this.
Well i wouldn’t want to be touched by a dirty Haitian person either.
He’s such a fuck.
There is footage Letterman has shown on then nominee GW Bush cleaning his glasses on a staffers sweater during commercial break. Maybe this is just something he does – wiping grime on someone else to keep himself clean.
Not shown: The Haitian cutting his/her hand off after accidentally touching Bush. They were reaching for Clinton.

They say Clinton has a “thing” about him that drives women crazy. Maybe Bush was using that as an excuse to feel “the big dog”?
not sure if he was doing that necessarily, but makes for a good metaphor
does he wipe his hand off after shaking Obama’s, too?
There’s a discreet way to wipe off your hand if someone’s else’s hand is sweaty, sticky, dirty. Casually and gently wipe your hand on your thigh. Hooking your thumbs in your front pockets (if you have them) is another method of non-offensive hand wiping. It figures that Bush either doesn’t think to do this or doesn’t care.
Well, George Bush DOES hate black people.
@15, I was gonna say, you get your utility hanky out of your back pocket and dab your forehead. I like yours better.
And I thought Bush the First was doing this with Clinton. Is Shrub a temporary stand-in, or is he on the rehab trail?
fuck bush to infinity. fucking asshole.
genius move to send him down there, though.
@18: yes actually, it is.
