this is getting disturbingly close to describing a curtsey.....Hell, it
doesn't matter, but I truly feel for Obama if this is the level of scrutiny
for such a trivial matter.

It appears to me exactly as Obama described it, a tall man grasping
with both hands the outstretched hand of a much shorter man.

Oh, please - Obama could say the sun rises in the west and sets in the east over
DC, and with your jungle-feverish mancrush, you'd claim he was the world's
greatest astronomer...

What's
hilarious about the whole non-incident is that the same right-wing
whackjobs who are pretending to be outraged over this silliness
ignored Bush pere and fils kissing Saudi ass lo these many years.

Actually, men holding hands in the Arab world is perfectly normal, whereas King
Abdullah has it well-known that he considers such as bowing to him to be
inappropriate...if you weren't such a unworldly narrow-minded homophobe, you
might have known the former...and if Obama had real world experience or anything
but amateurs around him, they might have known the latter...

HTH,
