That's how I take it. I wonder how long he's been planning this. He certainly does look pleased with himself.

(90,740 posts)Naturally this was during the Iraq invasion and after Wilson's wife Valerie Plame was outed by Cheney. Wilson went on a lecture tour.
Ambassador Wilson, posted to Iraq, found out that Saddam had a habit of sticking his hand out for a greeting, but deliberately positioning it much lower than normal. The foreign official would put out his own hand, grasp air, and bow his head to locate the expected hand. Flash! Yet another photo of a foreign dignitary "bowing" to Saddam Hussein.
Like Macron, Wilson prepared. He locked eyes with the dictator and brought his own hand lower, Saddam lowered his arm more, and so it went. He never "bowed."

(102,316 posts)His idea of asserting his "alpha" on a lot of the staff was to blow out the worst and most obscene fart possible and basically dare them to say anything. He never did it to me, but almost always the female assistants. Uggh.
If there actually were a God, then why are these creeps not smited daily?
