Haiti is beset by disasters! First an earthquake and then a visit by Twig.

Thanks for posting that Mark...confirms what I already knew about the man.

Maybe there was dirt on his hands before, during, or after the shaking. Or the hands of the people were sweaty from standing in the heat.

There are several conclusions that one can draw from the video, but the worst is not necessarily the right one.

He wiped his hands on someone elses' clothing.

I have to agree with you Mark it not only shows disrespect to the people of Haiti. But also shows huge disrespect to the American Presidency because once a President of America always a President.

[Satchmo]

He seems to have a cringe moment after the hand shake and curls his hand before `palming' off the hand wipe as some other gesture as he looks off in to the distance: ..perhaps he thinks if _he_ didn't see it, it didn't happen .

Yes, theres really no positive way you can spin this one no matter how hard you try... at least it wasn't President Obama's shoulder ..that would have sparked an international incident!

Thats a shocker for a man not fit to shine Clintons boots.

Hello All,

From what I can tell, Bush has got too much dirt on his hands to wipe off on Clinton in one motion like that. Might I remind you of the Weapons of Mass Destruction!!!!!!!!!

Need I say more!

Come on he got rid of most of the stuff by doing the wave to someone in the crowd. Maybe he just wanted to tell Clinton in a cryptic manner that he was proud that they were both there lending a sweating helping hand.....
