Dude, Lewinsky, DUUUHH.

Hell, he probably got more germs from Clinton.

I stupidly posted this article today thinking that it had not been posted before (mental note, remember to check firehose.....)

Anyhoo, I got one reply before the thread was closed and I did not have a chance to respond to it there, so I shall here. The poster made note of the fact I am an Aussie commenting on American politics:

You're from Australia. How about you leave our political leaders for us to worry about and concentrate on the shabby condition of your own country, which has enough going on.

Seriously, you don't see us showcasing your politicians on ATS now do you?

You seem to forget the fact that America touts itself as the worlds superpower and has it's nose in the businesses of all the other countries of the world. What happens in America doesn't just stay in America, it filters out and has consequences for the global community. THAT is a consequence of America sticking it's nose into the worlds business.

Now how about this: If you want me, as an Aussie, to leave your politicians alone then how about a bit of reciprocation and have America get it's nose out of Australia's business? Hmm? Sound like a good plan? I'm guessing not actually as you should have, by now, realised just how very ignorant your post was.

Anyhoo....

To me, the part of this incident that makes me wonder is the fact that immediately after shaking hands with the Haitian, Bush appears to start to wipe his hand on himself first then changes his mind and wipes it on Clinton instead. If it was just a friendly "hurry up" gesture toward Clinton then Bush must have meant to hurry himself up first then changed his mind and hurried Clinton instead. Somehow I don't think that is what happened.....

By the way did you see that pile of watermellons in the background?

I'm not seeing the pile of watermelons...and if I did...What is so funny about it?

Please elaborate.

Perhaps I'm mistaken in your intent, but this was supposed to be a little light hearted and amusing post right? At least that's how most posters seem to have taken it, myself included.

How about the millions of his own citizens that did die because of his oil ambitions.

Millions???? What millions are you referring to?

Did you not see clinton do the exact same thing, but on his own shirt? It is extremely humid there, and when you shake a wet sweaty hand, do you wipe it off? Not to mention, have you seen how dirty Haiti is? I would so wipe off my hand, just not on anyone else.

Well let's face it, like many in his party, George W. Bush is a follower not a leader.
