George W. Bush has shocked internet users with his fun and friendly antics with other former-leaders at the funeral of a former president.

At yesterday's funeral service for Jimmy Carter in Washington, D.C., he had the internet in stitches by playfully belly-tapping former President Barack Obama. And now newly released footage shows that was not his only moment of banter.

This time, he light-heartedly slaps Dan Quayle, the former vice president who served during former president George H.W. Bush, SR.'s tenure as the 41st President of the United States, with the funeral program.

Many flocked to X to comment on Bush's playful behavior, calling him the "most normal" guy out there. Despite Bush's dismissal of President-elect Donald Trump, one person wrote: "I really think W and Trump would be boys in a different life."

Bush walks by Trump and his wife, slaps Obozo in the stomach, and now I see he hits Dan Quayle with papers. Bush looks like he has funeral makeup on. What a turd.

Trump was ignoring Bush as much as Bush ignored him. Definitely some bad blood between those two.

Well, I suppose that’s better than his previous “antics”: botching not one, but two foreign wars.

“ Bush walks by Trump and his wife, “

None of these people are higher than the constitution

They swear to God to protect and defend it then disregard the duly elected president

They’ll have to explain to God why they disregard the people who are in charge of this country

These self anppointed royals are disgusting.

There shouldn't be. They might have some philosophical difference, but Trump's economic visions would benefit Bush and Texas. Someday we might find out why they are not on friendly terms.

Trump destroyed Jeb and the Bush family political dynasty. The Bush family turned out to have as big a sense of political entitlement as the the Clintons do.

Maybe something to do with what was in those White Envelopes that all the wives received at GHW Bush’s funeral.
All the wives except Carter.

I have no (acceptable) proof, but I do believe W must have suffered either a stroke or some sort of emotional breakdown in the years since he left office in 2008. It would not be too surprising, remembering all the hate and ridicule the Dems poured onto GWB. Year after year. He’s only human

There have been several episodes of odd public behavior.
He seems uncommonly beholden to the Obama’s, probably also to the Clinton’s, in spite of all the awful things Hillary used to shriek about him, as she stood at a podium.

Probably just the Southern Baptist in me but that all sounds pretty damned inappropriate.

After all, it’s not a dinner party.
