1. I hope that handshake is stronger than that, if someone shook my

hand like a dead fish it'd turn me off.

5. Looks like the handshake is ending

and they are both pulling their hands away.

21. if it's a dead fish

it's not from Kerry's end, he has a GREAT handshake, with fabulous eye contact to boot! :D

[unblock]

2. any symbolism meant by putting it next to the rummy-saddam handshake?

:evilgrin:

[Sparkle]

Didn't think of that. LOL!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

3. I heart Kerry

I have NEVER seen a picture of bush reaching out to a Kerry supporter. NEVER.

And never will. bush has zero class and Kerry is as classy as they come.

[ET Awful]

9. That's because Kerry supporters aren't allowed near Bush. n/t

[TexasSissy]

4. That's a weird looking handshake. Is he handing the guy something,

maybe?

[soleft]

11. The picture could have shot while they were pulling away

[Downtown Hound]

6. Now that's some class

I wonder if AWOL has ever done that? Hah! Like I have to ask!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

8. All BC protestors are in Gitmo and Bush doesn't have time to visit them

Presidentin' is hard work.

[Downtown Hound]

13. Damn straight!

Video Games, golf, fishin', a little more Xbox here and there. No time to read intelligence reports or attend dead soldiers' funerals. There's a bass out there with his name on it!

[Cocoa]

7. Bush wouldn't do that

he has Kerry supporters arrested for trespassing.

[cjbuchanan]

10. Just think if it was Bush in the pic

That person would be on his way to jail by now or at least locked up in a "free speech zone" 2 miles away.

12. Extending the hand of understanding across the hedge of politics...

...to reach the voter wearing the white t-shirt of disenfranchisement, who is holding aloft the Bush/Cheney sign of ignorance. This...is our candidate. :cry:(I'm so proud!)

17. Richardo, take a step back from the keyboard of metaphors and

take a break on the couch of cliche's with a glass of allegory.


:evilgrin:

[Richardo]

19. I'll take that allegory with two ice cubes of irony...

:evilgrin:

14. i think this is from the front porch tour where some Bush supporters came

out to protest. they were yelling shit and trying to disturb but kerry made them look like asses when they started yelling 4 more years by responding "4 more years of WHAT?" then went on to list how the country had gone down under bush.

at the end of it when he was leaving and walking back to his car he passed by some bush supporters and made them look like asses by waving to them and smiling while they stood there with the idiots sign. a few of them even reached out to shake kerry's hand. they seemed surprised at kerry's reaction. they probably expected him to act like bush by totally ignoring them or other things bush would do.

15. Where's this pic from?

Any background info on it?

[Sparkle]

18. I got it from CNN. But see post #14.

[Mad_Dem_X]

16. A class act, thru and thru!

:-)

20. A healer and fighter at same time.

One of his characteristic strengths.
If Freep mindset sees this, it freaks them out.
"Okay which is it? healer? Fighter? FLIPFLOP!!"

Now, a shaolin monk would get that.

[Bluebear]

22. Regarding parsing of the handshake:

Look, a frozen camera shot often doesn't show what happened before or after. You don't know how many neandrathals have to "win" a handshake by crushing your bones. If I shook 3000 hands a day I would be a little cautious too, especially if they were holding a B-C sign.
