Despite What CNN Says, People Still Want to Shake Bush's Hand

CNN reporter Rick Sanchez is an idiot.

In his mind (and in his commentary), his latest mockery of George W. Bush proves our president is getting his come-uppance for eight years of being a global bully because no one would shake his hand at the G-20 summit Saturday.

Admittedly, I don't know why Bush isn't shaking anyone's hand in this particular video. But trust me, Bush was making the rounds on Saturday. How do I know? Because we have 71 pictures of him grinning into the camera while he grips the hands of world leaders from around the world. (See the full gallery here)

Check these out:

1. President of South Africa Kgalema Motlanthe


2. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd


3. Saudi Arabian King Abdullah bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud


4. Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh


5. Italian President Silvio Berlusconi


6. Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-Moon


7. Prime Minister of Japan Taro Aso


8. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner


9. Spanish President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero


10. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Joseph Harper


11. German Chancellor Angela Merkel


12. Russian President Dmitry A. Medvedev


So there you are. A dozen reasons Rick Sanchez is wrong. Some of the leaders pictured above are the same leaders featured in the video of Bush being "snubbed."

But wait, there's more!

Sanchez goes on to point out that Google search results prove his assertions that no one likes Bush. Sanchez says he typed "Bush" and "bully" together into Google and got back more than two million hits.
"George Bush secret lizard person" gives me 165,000 hits, so yeah, Bush has definitely been chowing down on some crickets and hanging out near heat lamps.
Wow Rick, I guess you're right. That must mean people think Bush is a bully.

Hmm, I wonder if people think Bush is a child molester. Let's find out.

"George Bush child molester" gives me 165,000 hits. By Rick's logic, I guess that means our president is a child molester.

That's good to know. But let's dig deeper. Is he a space alien? "George Bush space alien" gives me 2.6 million hits, so I guess he must be.

Hmm. I wonder if Bush is also one of those secret lizard people like in "V." Typing in "George Bush secret lizard person" gives me 165,000 hits, so yeah, Bush has definitely been chowing down on some crickets and hanging out near heat lamps.

OK, I have to wrap this thing up by pointing out that I'm not a big fan of Bush. In fact, I'd like to see him remembered as the two-bit scheister of a president he is. But what Sanchez is doing here actually works in Bush's favor. It proves that news reporters are all members of the liberal media -- a pack of lying pseudo-journalists out to get the commander in chief.

This little video clip actually succeeds in making Bush look sympathetic. Aww. Poor president Bush looks so sad because no one will shake his hand. You know, he's not really a bad guy. He's just caught a bad rap.

No. The truth is that he's still one of the most powerful men with legions of devoted followers willing to bend over backwards for him... or just shake his hand for a quick photo op.

Just ask beloved comic book writer and "Spiderman" creator Stan Lee...
