Has any other President in history every kissed a Senator on the head?
I saw a clip of Bush kissing McCain on the head at an event (followed by a hug, which is another thing) and it just seemed VERY, VERY strange to me. I just don't know any men, gay or straight, who kiss other men on the head like that. Is it some kind of mafia-type thing or what???

I don't like living in Bushworld. It isn't just evil, it's profoundly bewildering.

8. Maybe a Borgia Pope thing.
It would be interesting to see a comparison between the Borgias and the Bushes.

And we don't know WHERE bill Clinton kisses Hillary......

24. I Believe
President James Buchanan's live-in companion (William Rufus King) was a Senator. He probably kissed him on the head and many other places.

25. I saw that
and almost threw up! :puke: It was the most bizarre thing I've seen in a long time. I've NEVER seen a man kiss another man on the head. Leave it up to the idiot-in-chief to do it and on camera, no less. :(
