Bush & Maliki ---pix--->>>

George looks so uncomfortable.






















U.S. President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki shake hands at the conclusion of a
joint news conference following their meeting in Amman, Jordan November 30, 2006. The meeting takes place
under a cloud of White House criticism of Maliki's ability to rescue Iraq from bloody turmoil.

1. W looks like such a stupid huckster.

Whistle-ass!

2. Maliki made George reach farther. Cute.

3. Yep, al-Maliki won the body language war, there

See how he stays well back in his chair, and Monkeyboy leans forward in supplication?

I'm shocked that Monkey exercised such poor discipline. That kind of shit is INGRAINED by the briefers and handlers early on. He knows better--must've forgotten to take his adderal!!! Either that, or he had no choice, because al-Maliki was refusing to budge!

Monkey does look like he could use a bit of Preparation H...that's a rather uncomfortable looking 'set-down' he's got going on there...

5. breifers and handlers, nuts.... His MOTHER taught him that...

She will probably be quite uncomfortable with that picture, if she sees it.

4. the leaning image of george

looks like a repetition of george's entrance to bill clinton's library - inaugural day.

george has got to be first...or he will shove anyone out of the way.

6. Anyone else notice

that whenever Bush tries to shake someone's hand, they react like he has the cooties?

7. Not cooties on his hands, just a lot of blood. n/t

8. I don't ever remember seeing so many pictures

of shaking hands while seated until this guy. I seem to remember a time when leaders would sit to talk then rise and move closer to each other to shake hands. It showed not only did the talk go well, but respect for each other by rising. Shake hands while seated if you are directly across from the person, but not if you are seated to their side.

Am I the only one to notice this?

11. Maybe someone won't think this is PC, but I was raised to think that men have to stand up...

...to shake hands and only women shake hands while seated. And, yes, the man would stand while the woman would able to stay seated if the handshake were between a man and woman.

To this day, when someone new at work is taken around to be introduced to everyone, I always stand up to shake hands when the person comes to my desk.

9. Would you buy a used car from this man?

I swear, he looks like a used car salesman in those pics. Nothing against car salesman, but some of them can be a bit slick.
