With the standard Democrat greeting...

Gov. Bill Richardson likes to touch people. He hugs, pokes, jabs and tickles. Looking to start a conversation, he might lean forward and head-butt someone— male or female.
Bored on an airplane flight? He'll lick his finger and smudge an aide's glasses. Richardson says he's just joking and teasing to ease tension and boredom.
Lt. Gov. Diane Denish [a Democrat] says she finds the practice irritating. She said she tries to avoid sitting or standing next to the governor at public events. She said the governor's personality is "one of charisma, joking, joshing," but also used some other words to describe his hands-on approach.
"I think it's irritating and annoying," Denish said in a recent interview. "I try not to put myself in that situation, trying not to stand or sit next to him."
Others who work with the governor say it doesn't bother them.
Denish, who also used the terms "teasing," "adolescent" and "silly," made the comments after looking at photos taken at a groundbreaking ceremony for a train depot in Bernalillo. Seated next to Denish, Richardson reached his hand behind her chair, turned to her and grinned.
Denish said the governor was poking at the side of her leg. It went on for five or 10 minutes— the state's bored governor picking at the lieutenant governor, who tossed him some exasperated glances as he caught her eye and laughed.
"He pokes me," Denish said when she was asked about the incident. At other times, she said, "He pinches my neck. He touches my hip, my thigh, sort of the side of my leg." She said that he has never touched her in an improper way but that such physical contact in a public setting was inappropriate because it could be misconstrued.

He is definitely looking to see if a camera is focused on him.
I know, joking.
To be involved in any physical act with a Republican male is the most horribly nauseating event that a woman can experience on this planet.
OTOH, to be fondled, tongue-kissed, raped, buggered, or drowned by any Democrat of either sex is an exciting opportunity for personal growth.
Especially fast for the male in the relationship, I imagine. LOL
Since you're a Freeper, any Democrat worth his salt would drown you before things got really nasty.
Well maybe not Barney Frank.
