Shiny Happy People Holding Hands
Michael Moore must have been on to something when he chose the song "Shiny Happy People" for the Fahrenheit 9/11 scene showing the cozy visits with the Bushes and the Saudis. This week, G.W. was shown holding hands with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. I think it’s hilarious, because you’ve got Republicans fighting human rights for gays, Saudi cultural customs of kissing and hand-holding, and kick-ass grizzled rednecks here in the homeland that don’t take kindly to those kinds of pansy-ass shenanigans. Better get used to it, because the price of oil is going to keep going up.

That is an amusing thought. Isn't irony wonderful?
Good point. Maybe he's just gay and has finally come out of the closet.
If there are pictures of this, they should probably be sent to the paparazzi, the National Enquirer, the Globe, the Sun, etc....
"But does Laura know?"
I wonder if that was subject of any of her jokes at the White House correspondents’ dinner. Hilary had Monica; Laura has Prince Abdullah. Franken said those dinners are really phony because you have to be polite with people you despise. Or at least people you’re supposed to despise, as the case may be, I might add.
They did have pictures of the handholding. CBS had an amusing story that inspired me to write this post.
Yeah, before the war, Bush said oil should be a source of wealth for the Iraqi people. Which Iraqi people, I’d like to know, and which Americans? And what would the average Saudi have to say about it? I understand they do better than other Arab countries, but they also have dismemberment, major sexism, and extremist religious dissent.
