For a potential would-be Republican primary voter, the image was something out of the apocalypse: Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), one the GOP’s surviving presidential candidates, shaking hands with President Obama.
“The Rubio-Obama Trade Pact,” www.therealrubiorecord.com — paid for by Cruz for President — read. “Rubio cast the deciding vote to fast-track three highly secretive trade deals negotiated by Obama and encouraging corrupt, backroom deals.”
Ouch. Except, according to the Rubio campaign and anyone familiar with stock art and Photoshop, the handshake looks totally fake. And, while Rubio and Obama have shaken hands, it seems unlikely they shook hands in exactly that awkward fashion with those strange facial expressions while floating in space above the Capitol grounds.
“This is not Marco Rubio,” Rubio senior adviser Todd Harris told reporters Thursday, as Time reported. “This person, we don’t know who that is, but they Photoshopped Marco’s face onto somebody else. This is how phony and how deceitful the Cruz campaign has become.”

This stuff gets so silly, I can't even come up with witty comments any more. The best I can do is post, and half the time I can't even bring myself to that.

That little teeny tiny man with President Obama? 
for a republican to shake hands with the President of the United States? 
So i spent ten minutes looking for an image of Sanders shaking the hand of a Republican to prove the point how ridiculous it is to demonize a Washington politician for, in the course of their jobs, to be in a position of simple courtesy even, to shake ones political foe's hand once in the odd while.
Strange thing is, I couldn't find one.
Oh,...other than this handshake with a Republican-lite:
