THE OTHER HUG

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 4, 2005 09:57 AM

Joe Lieberman comments about the other hug that made news on SOTU night. From the Connecticut Post:

In a startling display of bipartisan spirit, President Bush, after his State of the Union speech, gave Connecticut Democrat Joe Lieberman much more than an olive branch.

Descending into the well of the House and into a swarm of well-wishers Bush spotted Lieberman and quickly approached him. Bush wrapped both arms around the Connecticut senator’s head, pulling him closer and appeared to plant a kiss on his right cheek.”I was surprised,” the senator said later. “I extended my hand and he was good enough to give me a manly embrace.”

Some Democrats are livid about the public display of bipartisan affection between the two men. But isn’t “reaching out” and “healing” what the Democrats wanted the president to do?
