I was never what you’d call a fan of George W. Bush when he was in office. In fact, I couldn’t stand the illiterate idiot. Still, he’s out of office now, and using his world standing to help others, so surely he’ll redeem himself somewhat.
He did what? Oh. Oh dear. Oh well.
Yes, you saw right. When George W. Bush and Bill Clinton recently visited Haiti to draw attention to the victims of the Haiti earthquake, Bush is caught being incredibly rude and ignorant to one of the people he meets.
He shakes his hand, and then immediately wipes his own hand on Clinton’s shirt. Nice one, George. Really subtle.
Bush has been accused of racism for this, but I suspect it was more about the fact the hand he shook was sweaty. That doesn’t make what he did right but it’s clearly not as bad as some people are suggesting.
