"In a moment largely unnoticed by the throngs of people in Lebanon waiting for autographs from the president of the United States, George W. Bush stopped to hold a teenager's head close to his heart.

He changed from being the leader of the free world to being a father, a husband and a man," Faulkner said. "He looked right at her and said, 'How are you doing?' He reached out with his hand and pulled her into his chest."

I take great satisfaction in the firm conviction that this didn't happen for any purpose other than caring and to offer comfort. But any bets as to whether a media that paraded every quavering Clinton lip as a sign that he "felt their pain" will even note this?

The "search" button is your friend only if you post with the correct, original headline. Jim should both search first and then post correctly!
