Bush Wipes Hand on Clinton's Shirt After Greeting Haitians

In a not-so-slick move, George W. Bush uses Bill Clinton's shirt as a towel to wipe his hands after greeting and shaking hands with some local Haitians.

I'm no Dubya fan, but I call BS on the 'wipe'. He could have just as easily been tapping him on the shoulder.


He looks around briefly before wiping. He is clearly looking for someplace to wipe whatever ickiness was on his hand.

I swear that I've seen Bush do this elsewhere that was in the United States sitting around during a speech and wiping his dirtied hands on someone else. I could have sworn he wiped something on Gore... maybe he's superstitious or maybe he's so used to people coddling his fucking pampered lazy ass.

Master Bush cleaned his glasses on his assistants dress before a TV interview. I cant find the link... I think google is now a big part of the new world order, or I,m just wrong.

If you see the full version you see this edit is disingenuous bs.

Bush wanted to move along and he tapped Clinton on the shoulder followed by that gesture. Clinton is known to hang around and shake hands allot, Bush is known for wanting to stick with the schedule so they say.

There's so many things that make Bush a terrible man, why trash him when he actually does something good like help raise funds for Haiti?

Wow, I hate to say it, but I think you are right... it isn't edited as much as the FPS seem to be off so you can't really see the tap because it kind of blurs together.

Seems really suspect now.

I watched the unedited one, its no quite as obvious, but still pretty obvious to me. After shaking hands he kind of does the ew I got something gross on my hand thing, then proceeds to wipe it on Clinton. I have no doubt he tried to conceal the maneuver as signal to move on. Anyone who's had an asshole for a friend knows to be suspect when they pat you on the back as they've probably just picked their nose and need a place to dislodge to booger from their finger.

^I don't care if he tapped Clinton on the shoulder or not. In my mind it's funnier if he wiped his hands on him, so that's what I'll remember. Truth has no place when comedy is afoot!!!


It's even funnier in the 'unedited' BBC video where you see him do the little peek-a-boo finger wave at everyone, like his name is Thelma and he's trying delicately to acknowledge his girlfriends while blowing on his freshly-painted fingernails wrapped around a Corona at the Albuquerque 37th Annual Chili Cook-Off.

Goddamnit, Presidents should always wave like the stoic Templar in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Second. Definitely a tap.

Even if he got soap, a bucket, and used Clinton's shirt to dry, who the fuck cares. This one thing tarnishes Bushes reputation. He was noble and just prior to this horrible incident. This one thing will totally change my opinion of him. I'm sure the rest of you feel the exact same way. OMG I hate Bush, OMG me too, cool, let's be friends.

I dislike all the shit he pulled just as much as the next sifter, but honestly this is what we care about. This is breaking news. Find me Cheney "grazing" the first lady then we'll have something to talk about.

Hah. Watching Dubya wade into the steaming masses in the wake of Clinton is even more telling. Clinton's in his element whilst Dubya uncomfortably does his part in 'keeping up with the Joneses.' I reckon its safe to say that no matter what Dubya does in his presidential afterlife, the word 'humanitarian' will never grace his name.

That's so much nonsense. It's CLEARLY a wipe in the full version too. There's hardly any difference.

Not that i care beyond wanting the truth to be stated.
