Shake This, Sanchez

Hot Air had a video clip of George W. Bush at a G-20 summit, where he and world "leaders" didn't shake hands. CNN's Rick Sanchez sees a conspiracy that proves Bush is a jerk.

Sanchez says it might be case of "what goes around comes around" and that Bush is a bully. To prove it, he says he Googled "Bush + bully" and came up with over 2 million hits. He played the video twice and and called the moment sad, saying it reminds him of saying a kid had "cooties" back in high school.

I watched the video one time through, and I'm pretty sure Sanchez is on crack. Take a look for yourself. There is no body language of "snub." Not a single leader reaches out to Bush, and neither does Bush reach out to them. There's some kind of backstory here, either Bush saying he didn't want to shake that day, or he's got a cold, or he's got a bum hand, or something. But in the fantasy world of Rick Sanchez, it is just another episode of sad Bush getting what he deserves.

Still, let's say Sanchez 's take is true. If so, I'm on Bush's side. I'd shake his hand a lot faster than I would shake Rick Sanchez's, which would be never. Presidents are more important than reporters. I'm funny that way.

Hot Air says they Googled "Sanchez" and "idiot" and got over 500, 000 hits. Good one.
