Well here's Bush's walk of shame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqVhjfZWKkU
Now, there's all this commentary on how it really wasn't a walk of shame and they have footage of all those guys shaking Bush's hand in some photo-op beforehand or after...I forget which.
But you know... those guys when the whole string was walking along were purposefully avoiding shaking his hand in a public venue. They vigorously shook hands and greeted all the other walkers. Not one shook Bush's hand... most wouldn't even look at him.
You can call it what you like. I call it what it was: a snub, plain and evident for your eyes to see. Play it over and over to make sure I'm not making this up!
Anyway, I think it's more than just a reflection of how the world sees Bush and more a reflection of how it sees the GOP in general. I think, and this is just coming from the gut IMHO, that if we had another GOP leadership this time around, in Congress or in the Oval Office, we would be in BIG trouble on a global scale. We now, thanks to Dubya and his BigOil goonsquad, sit at mercy of our enemies and our allies. Our economy is wrecked and we no longer are powerful. Add up how much US Treasury that was wasted on Dubya trying to sieze Iraq for private oil interests in the last 8 years and then figure out for yourself what "went wrong" with our economy.
I love Sarah Palin's little mantra: "I don't have a rear view mirror: I only look forward."
Yeah, "forward" to blaming a ruined nation (and world economy that depends on it) on the democratic administration that came to the rescue and tried to save the situation....
