Yes folks Bush derangement syndrome is alive and well. For a time it appeared that Palin derangement syndrome had cured it; reaction to a viral video showing the two ex-presidents in Haiti confirms it still lives. All over the news, you’ll see the headline ‘Bush hand wipe on Clinton’s shirt in Haiti.’ Unfortunately the mainstream media has nothing else on their plate to cover I suppose.
Former Presidents Bush and Clinton traveled to Port-au-Prince, Haiti to oversee the relief efforts that they helped to precipitate. The Bush Clinton Haiti fund has given the International Medical Corp $500,000 dollars to run mobile clinics on the earthquake devastated island.
But let’s not concentrate on that! Bush wiped his hand on Clinton’s shirt! Why in the world would Bush wipe his hand on Clinton’s shirt? Could it be as some leftists believe that Bush simply doesn’t like black people ala Hurricane Katrina? Does the 43rd President of the United States think that the Haitians have cooties? Or is it just possible that his hand was sweaty and Clinton’s soft blue cotton shirt served the purpose?
Let’s not give any deference to the fact that the Bush Clinton Haiti fund has raised nearly $40 million for the relief effort. Why would we? Bush wiped his hand on Clinton’s shirt for crying out loud. Oh who knows, maybe he’s feeling guilty for all of the blood that’s on his hands for the unjust wars he started and he just wants it off.
Please, let’s be honest. If you were Bush, or anyone for that matter, and you wanted to wipe your hand clean; would Bill Clinton’s shirt be the object you chose for cleanliness? Would Bush wipe his hand on Clinton’s shirt hoping to get it clean? You simply have no idea where he’s been.
See the video of the famous Bush hand wipe below and tell us what you think in the comments.

If Clinton has been leaning over, perhaps Bush would have wiped his ass? Poor Mr. Bush. He just does not have enough sense to be discrete. That’s what it means to me. I am sure The Silver Fox taught him to keep his hands to himself. Thank you.

These are deep probing questions.
Or is it just possible that his hand was sweaty and Clinton’s soft blue cotton shirt served the purpose?
Sentences like that are the reason I come back to this site. Everyone knows it’s perfectly valid to wipe your sweaty hands all over an ex-president’s shirt… nothing wrong with that. I mean, president or not, if there’s a guy in front of you with a “soft blue cotton shirt” and you’ve got sweaty hands, he’s a bathroom paper towel dispenser. Makes perfect sense.
It’s like, sometimes you need to clean your glasses. If there’s a person in front of you, you can use them. No biggie.
Unfortunately the mainstream media has nothing else on their plate to cover I suppose.
Yeah. I’m glad such a fringe story isn’t carried on any of the more responsible sites, especially the blogs of- oh wait.
March 25th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Ha ha ha ha ha! You got a lot of nerve criticizing this, seeing that you are the kings of this sort of crap (Look! He bowed to him! He didn’t have his flag pin on! He didn’t put his hand over his heart!).
“Oh who knows, maybe he’s feeling guilty for all of the blood that’s on his hands for the unjust wars he started and he just wants it off.”
Eh what? I finally read something that’s true here.
OH! You were trying to be FUNNY! I see! Thousands of American soldiers dead and wounded! Hundreds of thousands of civilians dead.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

I almost vomited seeing C Ray Nagin here. I have enough of him already and he is soon to depart from our radar. Then again, I suspect he will be the head of the “new Acorn” under another name.
March 26th, 2010 at 5:51 am
Hardly his first offense:

Let’s face it, the guy is an ill-mannered, uncouth, spoiled cretin.
March 26th, 2010 at 6:31 am
Haha, I mean, here’s the thing. Say he had a legitimate reason to wipe his hand that didn’t involve a general uneasiness about the person with whom he just shook hands. Let’s assume his hand was, in fact, just sweaty.
OK. So why is Bill Clinton’s shirt the place he chooses to wipe his hand? Why not wipe his hand on his own shirt, or wait for a towel? It’s pretty disrespectful to clean yourself off using another person, no matter who it is — and one might argue former Presidents command more respect than your average Joe.
I’m pretty sure most of you would be a little weirded out if I tried to wipe my hand on your clothes, no matter what was actually on my hand. I don’t think W is a racist, I think he’s just a clueless idiot most of the time.
March 26th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Nice way to spin this one! Fox News gave up trying to put this one in a positive light and just ignored it altogether. Fair and Balanced indeed!
This just proves what a low life Bush is. Regardless of whether or not it had anything to do with touching “black” or “poor” people, what kind of person wipes off their hand onto someone else’s shirt?
March 26th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
“Fox News gave up trying to put this one in a positive light and just ignored it altogether.”
Fox News knows an agenda driven non news story when they see one. Let the lame stream media embarass themselves with this cr*p. Fox News has ratings to maintain by reporting legitimate stories.
March 26th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Some comedians have proved why Bush REALLY wiped his hand on Clinton’s shirt at http://www.fairshakeofthesaucebottlemate.com – crude but funny.
March 27th, 2010 at 1:47 am
DID BUSH ONLY SHAKE ONE HAND??? GIVE THE GUY A BREAK. DID WE SEE WHO HAND HE SHOOK? MAYBE WE WOULD DO THE SAME. I DON’T LIKE BUSH BUT THE TROUBLE WITH THE MEDIA IS THAT YOU HAVE TO REPORT SOMETHING EVERYDAY!!!!!
March 27th, 2010 at 1:54 am
must not have read any fox news lately, mr monkey
March 27th, 2010 at 2:10 am
No, I haven’t. I don’t like any news media websites.
March 27th, 2010 at 2:13 am
Former President Bush is an idiot that didn’t even have enough sense to wipe his hand on his own clothing.That was very disrespectful what he did to former President Clinton…and Clinton did notice what he was doing.Clinton was a better choice to have there (he really cared).Bush should have stayed his phony racist a** home.The way Bush held out his hand after he shook hands with those people..was like he rather have that hand cut off,lol.It is a shame.Next time he has to touch a “dirty black hand” as he most likely was thinking..maybe he will learn how to have some manners and be patient with wiping the dirt off his lily white hand.No wonder he’s not respected..and this is just a small example of his true self.
March 27th, 2010 at 2:19 am
Your Bush Derangement Syndrome is showing Michelle.
March 27th, 2010 at 2:25 am
Wha…wah…wah..wah…whats that sound…why thats the sound of leftist nut jobs who have missed making fun of Bush so bad they found a reason…this was pointless and not newsworthy. The guy is down there on his time raising money for the “black people” he so called does not like. I’m so sick of this liberal racist calling crap. Do you know the relationship the two presidents have created working together and joking around…maybe Clinton had done the same earlier…
While your making a big deal about that… Regardless of your political views, this wk we saw a great American do something many said couldn’t B done. Yup, Buzz Aldrin did the cha-cha on Dacing with the stars!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
March 27th, 2010 at 3:28 am
and you just need to go FLY AWAY..(MONKEY).I don’t care how you people try to take up for Bush he was wrong.
March 27th, 2010 at 3:46 am
It was not so much a hand-wipe as a bonding.
Don’t you realize that they are both alcoholics.
Bush was possibly trying to steady himself by holding on to his drunk companion.
March 27th, 2010 at 3:47 am
Thank you David for making some sense. All the problems America has and this is a big deal?? It speaks volumns that these two have come together for this worthy cause.
March 27th, 2010 at 3:51 am
I think imagination has run amuk. I watched the video and it looks like he patted Clinton on the shoulder and his hand trailed off. It did not look like an intentional hand-wipe. Give us a break!
March 27th, 2010 at 3:54 am
Get a life, I do not like Bush, never did, but this???? get a life people, he has better things to do, come on.
March 27th, 2010 at 4:12 am
Guess the sting of the leftist media has upset the right here. hahaa!
March 27th, 2010 at 4:14 am
Who cares!
March 27th, 2010 at 4:21 am
It’s crazy to me that people get paid to write babble, I wouldn’t even want my name on this article. Go cover squirrels water skiing at least that’s amusing
March 27th, 2010 at 4:21 am
I am happy that Mr. President Obama picked former president Bush for this mission with Former Mr. President Bill Clinton. The Bible clearly stated that you cannot hide the truth. Mr. Bush showed his true-self. I forgive him.
March 27th, 2010 at 4:31 am
we have to tolerate each other
March 27th, 2010 at 5:50 am
Bush looks like a complete deer in headlights. He is obviously wondering why he’s anywhere without his ten gallon hat wearing butler by his side. Oh, and Mr Dodd, anyone who confuses “your” with “you’re” is not educated enough to offer any credible information here. Are you and flying monkey the same person?
March 27th, 2010 at 5:52 am

hilarious. bush finally thinks like the rest of us. clinton is just another rag
March 27th, 2010 at 6:32 am
Looks like another lamestream meadia photoshop fix. YES! we can make it look like bush wiped his hand on slick willies shirt.then we can set back and laugh at all the lefty idiots and there brainless comments
March 27th, 2010 at 6:36 am
well i am not sure about the event but it seems mr bush want attention from press thats why he don this with clinton as well as he also have the same hunger.
March 27th, 2010 at 6:46 am
As a friend and former co-worker used to say, about people who try to make you believe that they’ve changed their negative ways: “you are who you were.” The real reason Bush was included in this endeavor was to give everyone a different view of George Bush, from the perception that was developed, when he was President. And, to change people’s perceptions about his mis-handling of the whole Katrina incident. And, up to this point, he was doing well with the image clean-up. Then, along came this moment in time, and the “real” George Bush, was forced to the surface, by a simple handshake by a poor, person of color. So, what does he do? His racist instincts tells him to use Bill Clinton (who is more respected by the Haitan people, and people at-large, as a napkin, to support what he perceives as something distasteful. Again, “you are who you were!” Remember that, all you racists out there.

@ newfangled voice
The water ran out. And then I saw the ring! A ring in the tub! And, oh boy! What a thing! A Big long pink cat ring! It looked like pink ink! And I said, “Will this ever come off? I don’t think!”

Exactly what I saw Donna. But remember that you’re dealing with a delude bunch of libs with BDS.
March 27th, 2010 at 7:19 am
That should read “deluded” bunch of libes.
And throw in 1 deluded Libertarian for good measure.
March 27th, 2010 at 7:30 am
In Obama’s book he cleary states that Bush is a germaphobe. This is strictly habit for him and totally an uncousious action for him to do. It is like having terets. famous people that are in constant contact with the public develope this .. and who can blame them when you shake hands with literally hundreds of different people everyday. His secret service people carry around a bottle of purrell for him to use. Donald trump is the same way. I would be too. This guy used to be the most powerful man in the world. I think he may still be a little used to wiping his hand on anybody he dam well pleases.
My conclusion it that it was an uncousious “tick” of a germaphobe.
March 27th, 2010 at 7:46 am
As much as I hate George Bush I have to think that the touch of Bush’s hand on Bill Clintons shirt was not to wipe it but a normal thing, although it does appear like he did wipe his hand down the shirt
March 27th, 2010 at 8:03 am
Bush Derangement Syndrome?
“Please, let’s be honest. If you were Bush, or anyone for that matter, and you wanted to wipe your hand clean; would Bill Clinton’s shirt be the object you chose for cleanliness? Would Bush wipe his hand on Clinton’s shirt hoping to get it clean? You simply have no idea where he’s been.”
Pot, meet Kettle. You guys INVENTED this kind of BS, and now you’re complaining?
Enjoy the nice soft bed that you’ve made. Whiners.
March 27th, 2010 at 8:46 am
Well like it or not, criticize it or not, think it is newsworthy or not, but nobody can deny that indeed he DID wipe his hand on Clinton’s shirt. What the hell was he thinking ? Then again maybe he wasn’t….
March 27th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Doesn’t really look like a wipe to me. More of a pat. Perhaps he was trying to get his attention or trying to stay together in a crowd. That the liberal media continues to portray this Yale graduate as some kind of idiot is the truly offensive and idiotic thing. Is Bush a sophisticated man? Not really, he’s much more down to earth. But that doesn’t make him dumb. He was President of the United States for eight years. We probably should show him a wee bit more respect.
March 27th, 2010 at 10:12 am
It didn’t look like a hand wipe to me. It looked as though he was touching his shoulder in a fond way. Why read something bad into this. Some people have way too much time on their hands. I think it’s admirable they are working together.
March 27th, 2010 at 10:14 am
i heard the haitian cut off his own hand after bush shook it!
March 27th, 2010 at 10:48 am
You guys are NUTZZZZ…anything to stir the Pot!!…Must have been a slow news day..
March 27th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
Well, what would you expect from this buffoon? After groping Chancellor Merkel’s neck, spitting crumbs in Tony Blair’s face and saying the “s” work over a live mic, this is small time. I’ll bet Clinton is laughing right now about it.
March 27th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
At first glance it looked as though he was just placing his hand on Clinton’s shoulder to get his attention. I watched again and it appears he may have wiped his hand on his shirt but what difference does it make? Why does everyone want to focus on Bush bashing when we have a tax and spend President and Congress who are doing more damage to this country and our economy daily. They talk about how much the deficit skyrocketed under Bush but BHO and Congress are outspending any other administration before it. Let’s focus on more important matters people. BTW liberal, as much as Clinton likes to take credit for the last balanced budget, we all know it was a Republican congress that made sure it was balanced.
March 27th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Get a life. If this is the best the left can come up with to complain about, they are pathetic.
March 27th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
I dont know what is wrong with people of this country . There is some thing wrong with those Bush bashing, Palin bashing i****s . Makes me think America has abundent supply of je**s .They seem to enjoy poking fun at people of high stature,recent victim …the pope .It may be some kind of neurotic degeneration with a section of the population. Certainly this is not freedom of speech . This is abuse of freedom .
March 27th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
seems like not too long ago mr. clinton was wiping something of his own on something blue… ha ha ha
March 27th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
That place was a toilet bowl before the earthquake and now after with limited water and no proper bathroom facilities the locals ought to be grateful Bush had the courage to shake their hands. I’m sure many had filthy and sweaty hands that anyone would want to wipe clean after shaking.
Worese: Obama won’t even place his hand over his heart when the national anthem is playing. Let’s talk about our “leader” disrespecting the country he leads.
March 27th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
I think that Bush did not want to be there and he is racist. When he was shaking that hand or touching that person it made him feel dirty.
March 27th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
I think anyone who would wipe their soiled hand on someone elses’ shirt was not raised right by their parents. Lets talk about a liar that caused the death of many innocent people.
Lets talk about a political party that even when they know whats right they will not do it.
Lets talk about racism in America. Lets talk about the false pride of the Republican Party that will lie to its own constituents and the entire nation and pour billions of our dollars into a foreign state and when it is time to pony up for programs here in the states they oppose it.
March 28th, 2010 at 12:24 am
no one is more racist than the democrats

What? Are you serious? You mean to say if they had footage of Obama doing this they wouldn’t have run with it like a pig on fire? Just because you keep repeating fair and balanced doesn’t mean it’s true.
March 29th, 2010 at 6:57 am
The dems have always practiced racism especially if a person didnt support their points of view,but racism will prove to be a small problem after the dems have our political system converted to total socialism. this ridiculous goverment run health care fiasco is just the start! i know for sure that what we have now for a health care system isnt perfect,but it could be. i also know that the video of good old W along slick willie has been tampered with by the lame stream media….
