And the most notable snub tonight by Mr. Colbert...

[SnoopDog]

was on Ms. Bush. A very quick head nod to Ms. Bush and immediately to Ms. Hellen Thomas with a handshake and a kiss to the cheek. Why? Because these people are filth. You have to shake the hand of the president, but not of the wife. I guess my life is limited now for writing this...

What a fucked up country we live in now - I so long for reality...

2. May I quote you... 'elegant show of disreprect"...!

well stated...

3. She didn't seem too eager to embrace him, either. She gave

him a rather icy stare.

5. Exactly...

wonder why? When one points out that the president is an evil murderous bastard...they tend not to be forthcoming...!

4. If you watch the tape...

You'll see the president does shake Colbert's hand and exchanges some words. Pickles said something to him, maybe "That was funny." That's the most likely thing under the circumstances.

I think the Bushes were within the bounds of politeness and I didn't see a snub. At least in the context that he had just endowed the pres with another asshole.
