In that first picture, was Chiraq only pretending to kiss Condi's hand?
I want that sleazeball Frenchie to keep his hands off our Condi.
Actually, it is considered impolite to actually make contact with the lady's hand.
When Chirac kissed Laura's hand, there were articles posted on appropriate hand kissing. So, the man is supposed to bring his lips to the lady's hand but not actually make contact.
