CNN moron and left-wing blogs perpetuate Bush Snub That Wasn’t

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 21, 2008 11:12 AM

The Bush Derangement Syndrome lemmings on the Internet lit up yesterday over a video that supposedly showed world leaders “snubbing” George Bush and refusing to shake his hand.

CNN moron Rick Sanchez wet his pants over the video, exulting that Bush was being treated like the kid in high school with “cooties.” He then ranted about Bush as a “bully” who deserved rude treatment from the world because “What goes around comes around.” The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart cackled over the clip, too.

It was left to CNN humorist Jeanne Moos to set the dunces straight. Bush had been shaking hands and slapping backs all day long with the world’s heads of state. There was no “snub:”

BDS: It never ends.

Send Rick Sanchez a clue here.

    “Big Media” (not “Big Oil” or “Big Tobacco”) is what’s destroying this country.

    Along with “Big Guvmint”, of course.

    I have to admit that it’s going to be funny to see how few trolls stick around to defend their savior once the stupidity hits high gear.

    I’m sure they’ll chalk it up to some great reason like “that’s the biggest thing you’ve got to worry about?” or “we’re just so smart that it hurts us to hold our excessively large heads up for so long.”

    It’s been fun for some time now. And, although the bashing will continue and be deserved, I’m not sure how much fun it will be once he’s been sworn in and the damage begins in earnest.

    I said that is what I hope you all say at the end, as opposed to the delusions that it will be the dawn of the Fourth Reich that I see posted here every day. I was trying to pay the intelligent posters here the compliment of not going to the other extreme and say that you all are just gonna see the light, renounce conservatism and love Obama after his term is up.

    I, however, fully expect Obama to be a great president.

    Kudos to Moos for setting it straight. Sanchez is a tool fool. The “cooties” comment was pretty high-brow. Classy.

    I’d expect a little more from a varsity letterman. (Then again, football at Moorhead State isn’t really a sport.)

    There is definitely a sickness amongst the deranged left wing biased alphabet drive-by news media. Unfortunately, that is where so many people actually get their “news” and its how Obama got elected.

    These people know their power and are exploiting it EVERYDAY. I am beginning to think that a Republican can never get elected on the national stage ever again. Combined with the educational indoctrination by the likes of William the Conqueror Ayers and other “educators” the libs have built a power continuum for destroying our country.

    I’m just not sure how they are going to balance the socialism/communism with Islam. Allah Akbar Heil Obama!! LOL

    Expect that every time Hope-a-Dope screws up or doesn’t deliver — which will be often — the reflexive defense will be to shift blame to “The Legacy of the Failed Policies of the Bush Administration”(TM). They’ll get four years of mileage out of that, with most of the new, voluntary State Media acting as megaphones.

    I’ve already seen examples of donkey media “preparing the battlefield” for the coming disaster of a combined George McGovern’s first term, Jimmy Carter’s second and Lyndon Johnson’s third in reporting/editorializing that it’s going to take two four-year doses of Hope-a-Dope to “turn things around.”

    They are so desperate it isn’t funny anymore. Heck, what i saw was President Bush not even looking at any of them, let alone attempting to shake their hands.

    Were this to be a snub of him, it would have had to have had him lifting up his hand to shake people’s hands, only to have them ignore the gesture, turn away from him, or just outright blow him off. As it was, he wasn’t even looking at any of them when he walked up and just looked as if he wanted to get the whole thing over with so he could get out of there.

    These Liberals must go through thousands of dollars in muscle cream from pulling all those muscles with the stretching and reaching they do in order to find new and exciting ways to make hate-filled fools of themselves.

    Want to see a snub? Watch what happens were I ever to meet Obama or be in the same room as him. Standing up and turning my back on him as well as looking at him square in the eye so he knows that I am not shaking his hand on purpose…THAT will be a snub.
