MSNBC - Who is Bush willing to kiss?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6530597/

The nominations of Condoleezza Rice for secretary of state and of Margaret Spellings as secretary of education were visually intriguing events, most notably because President Bush puckered up and gave both of them a congratulatory kiss. The president did not kiss Alberto Gonzales, his nominee for attorney general. He was congratulated with a strong handshake and the sort of torso tackle that men give each other in lieu of an actual hug.

1. Pleeeeze. Who gives a shit, really? With all that's happening.
Sorry, but I heard this issue raised on an NPR program and it sickened me that THIS type "news" is what gets the air time and not the fact that our country is being run by fascist maniacs.:cry:

2. I Care--It's A Slap in the Face of Any Woman
trying to gain professional respect, when Bush treats these women as sexual objects and they sit and take it, like the floozies they are!

4. I think the point of the article was....
"Bush did not try to pretend that these were simply two more nominations. After all, he talked up Rice's childhood in racially torn Alabama. He made his point that her nomination was historic. He made his point that this was another step in women's progress. But with two single kisses, he also made it clear that for him, equal doesn't mean the same."

Me - he treats women "differently", therefore, not equal ?
