If you're implying that he's a racist, that's absurd. Whatever you think of Bush and his policies, he's not a racist.

It's not very clear that he's actually wiping his hand, but if he was maybe the guy's hand was sticky or sweaty? I frequently wipe my hands after shaking someone's hands, because I hate the clammy feel that a lot of hands have. ;)

You need to read Barbara bushes comments about the blacks in New Orleans after the destruction. It's very clear to those that are not blind.

Watch Clinton's shirt as Bush wipes his hand in this clip.Look how Clinton looks at Bush. Bush is a real classy guy.

Oh Brother! :wacko

If Bush didn't want to shake hands with blacks, why did he stick his hand out?

He wiggled his hand before wiping it on Clinton's shirt, indicating something sticky or sweaty had been transferred to his hand on the handshake.

I love how you guys try to make a racial situation out of everything! Give me a break!!!

Was it acturate comments? You know sometimes the truth hurts.

Nope. That is why I asked.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (she chuckles slightly)--this is working very well for them."

"What's interesting is that both points are valid in isolation and probably could be made in a much more sensitive manner. And so it seems to me that what we find objectionable about her comment isn't so much the substance, but rather that the context of the substance (her phrasing, her non-verbal expression) reveals an ugly hidden meaning. This is usually how it is in such things."

This is a very good summation of that insulting episode that I found at the website below.
