"(Bush's) arms-length policy, bred out of a certain conservative caution and suspicion, certainly applied to being seen to be in too close a contact with Islamic nations, let alone within kissing distance of their leaders."

Arms length, huh?

[Erik Latranyi]

Liberals had fits over Bush’s kiss and handholding.

I went over to DU while the “Obama Bow” issue was going on. Most of the faithful were defending the bow as acceptable and understanding of culture.

There were those, who were pointing out the hypocrisy because of their bashing of Bush for the handholding and kiss.

It is a funny read to see liberals twist and try to parse the ‘difference’ between the two events.
