1. Italy's President and Bush

have something in common they are both criminals

[mythyc]

2. from here on out, all of us may only be friendly to each other once, and never again

you hear!

:yoiks:

9. I lived in Europe for many years. You shake hands and in some countries

embrace every time you meet. If Bush was not shaking hands because he already had, he committed a huge faux pas. But then, par for the course with Bush.

No, there was something wrong. Bush had said or done something embarrassing or unfitting or possibly offensive. This is not normal European behavior. And it isn't the normal behavior of a politician either.

14. Well said. n/t

[VeraAgnes]

20. Maybe *bush ran out of hand sanitizer?

He made sure he used it after touching Obama......

3. Anyone think it's ironic that...

Candy IS what she eats.

RAW

4. Jeannie Moos is the most honest reporter at CNN:

She makes no presumption of being serious about anything that comes out of her mouth. Could be true. Could be bullshit. She doesn't care.

[JDPriestly]

10. She may be honest but she doen't know common social behavior in Europe.

[Buzz Clik]

11. Nor does she care. Her stuff is pure fluff.

[republicansarewhores]

28. Oh that was Jeannie?

I mixed her up with Candy Crowley.

RAW

[SalviaBlue]

5. Very weak explaination. But hey, CNN buys it so who am I to question them?

[RobertSeattle]

6. Is that DU in that shot of the webpage with comments?

[IndependentDem]

8. Was just finding that thread myself - thanks for confirming

So CNN is sniffing DU... :-)

[Buzz Clik]

12. They captured the screen before the comment above "Snubber in Chief" was deleted.

oops. :blush:

[Ava]

13. i was wondering that too

[shadowknows69]

15. Don't believe your lying eyes, everyone loves our pResident

[orbitalman]

16. And me too!!!

NOT.

[mcjackson]

17. i just watched a documentary...

...about the queen of england. if you meet her earlier in the day and shake hands, you dont shake hands with her if you meet her again that same day. this is a total non-issue. just the msm scrounging for stories.

[JDPriestly]

19. Not true of other countries. I do not believe that Bush was the

only one there who had met everyone before. And it wasn't just that people didn't shake hands with him, it was that many of them went out of their way to look beyond him to the next person in line and that he sort of slunk down the line.

[doc03]

21. I didn't see the Queen in that line. So Bush shook

everyone's hands earlier in the day and none of the others had met before. I believe if I was in that line I would have offered to shake hands with the other leaders. Was it beneath him or too much work for the Destroyer in Chief to shake hands twice in one day?

[quidam56]

18. Presidebt Bush has already destroyed Appalachia

How much more will he destroy ? What's left ? http://www.wisecountyissues.com

[russspeakeasy]

22. Lets just go with this...bUSH is an asshole

and nobody wanted to shake his blood stained
hand..............

[Wizard777]

23. Oh good save!

Now they just have to hope the other leaders don't send out press releases stating that the reason is because they really don't like him. That would be spiking the ball in his face.

[judesedit]

24. They purposely avoid looking at him when they have the choice

Notice that? What goes around comes around.

[Cali_Democrat]

25. "video is no longer available"

x(

[smiley]

26. The so called liberal media at work again

:sarcasm:
Will they ever stop making excuses for this POS

[Up2Late]

27. RiiiiGHT!

:eyes:

[PerpetuallyDazed]

29. This makes absolutely no sense.

When you're going on a stage you're putting on a performance.... everyone in that procession is acting in a performance-like manner for the cameras. This was a coordinated snub by the foreign leaders for the benefit of the world audience.
