"Now... if I can just slip my hand into Georgie's pants..."
"The women, how much for the women?"
"Uh, Hillary, Nancy and Barbara? How about 10 million in gold, free trading rights for 10 years, and, uh, I'll throw in an aircraft carrier."
"I'm gonna count to 3 and your better git yer damn hand off me you rag headed faggot".
Jeez, wtf is GW thinking?
Is this some sort of Saudi custom? Seems like the last time they met there was a similar picture.
George Bush demonstrates just how secure he is in his masculinity.
(Note to self - produce a new product called "Mecca Men's Hair Enhancer". Only one color is needed, "unaturally really really black". Sell to old Arab farts. Tell them it has all natural contents and the color is the same as Mohammad's was. Say the color is "Black Stone of Kaaba Black" and charge $10K a bottle. Add pig butt juice to it.)
In many countries where homosexuality has not taken root yet, men holding hands is simply a sign of friendship. I thought it was really weird when i saw it since in the West that it clearly gay. Could be a custom. I dont know.
Hey, I've seen whole football teams do that. Pros and college. Not counting the pat on the butt.
"Can you feel how hard I'm squeezin' your hand? Imagine me doin' that to some other part o' your anatomy!"
I also remember seeing a Jackie Chan movie where Sammo Hung was playing his mentally challenged brother. Jackie was holding Sammo's hand and when some onlookers started staring and pointing fingers, he said, "We're Korean." I nearly died laughing. It's only a big deal in the West, really.
I see this picture as proof that:
1. GWB is secure in his masculinity; and
2. He had read his Saudi "Miss Manners" book before the Prince showed up
don't touch me with your dirty lefthand...lol
Abdullah I knew you're clueless but no one can ever say your glueless, You Crazy Glue son'a'bitch
these guys are holding hands as they are walking in West Hollywood. I bet the raghead will vigorously wash his hand with soap and water for touching the infidel.
"Listen here Prince baby - you think I wouldnt notice those are my curtains you're wearin'? I aint lettin' go till you return 'em".
I lovet it!!!!
Thanks for the info.
No they are lovers!
I was curious also, so googled for some info...here it is.
Right hand/left hand: In most Arab countries, the left hand is considered "unclean" and is not put forward (an important thing for al "south-paws" to know.) The left hand earned this interesting epithet in the harsh desert, a land of few trees and no paper. It was the custom to eat, shake hands, wave a greeting, all with the right hand while the left hand was reserved for certain "hygienic functions" or blowing the nose. (The left hand was cleaned by rubbing in the sand). For some desert nomads, this is still the way of things. Traditionally at meals the left hand is kept hidden in the folds of the robe.
Today it is extremely impolite to offer the left hand for a hand shake or to wave a greeting as this implies rubbing the "unhygienic residue" of the left hand on the person being waved to. Similarly, it is impolite to pass food or eat with the left hand. When eating and drinking, use your right hand. Use your right hand also when you pass, offer or receive anything. As an interesting note, throughout the tales of the "1,000 and One Arabian Nights" enemies are referred to as "They of the Left Hand."
Affection in Public: In most Arab countries, holding hands, kissing, walking arm-in-arm, and even flirting between men and women in public (even between husband and wife), is strictly TABOO! In Bahrain such behavior generally results in "dirty looks" from passersby. In some countries within this theater of operations, such behavior can result in arrest and imprisonment.
Conversely, holding hands, kissing, and walking arm-in-arm, between Arab men, is considered perfectly acceptable behavior. While there may be "something more" to it, such activities are generally little more than signs of friendship (much as the kiss on the cheek in France.)
Thanks for researching and letting us know.
"Nice dress, Abbey."

Yeah ..like there are NO sodomites in Saudi Arabia
Bwahahahahahahaa
talk to a few US oil workers who have worked among them sometime...
It's like that old joke...
How do you separate the men from the boys in Saudi Arabia?
WITH CROWBARS....
"Today it is extremely impolite to offer the left hand for a hand shake or to wave a greeting as this implies rubbing the "unhygienic residue" of the left hand on the person being waved to."
In that case, my caption contribution would be:
Our left-hand to you bud!
"That better be your hand, Bub..."

When driving around Baghdad I always waved with my left hand, because I had my 9MM in my right hand.
The day I left Viet Nam in 1972, the 269 Brigade Commander (full Colonel)of the Vietnamese Marines took me to the helicopter. I had been there for only four months (as a 1st Lt in First ANGLICO), providing his command with naval gunfire support. He took my hand and held it as we walked to the Huey. Uncomfortable? Yes. But when he said "thank you for helping to save my country," it didn't matter anymore.
I could sense Dubya's discomfiture as I watched him today.
Semper Fidelis,
It doesn't always work but in this case you would've found Caption Bush and Abdullah holding hands from this afternoon.
(Keep Your Friends Close... Your Enemies Closer.)
Given this administration's record on relations with the Saudis
....I am relieved they are only holding hands...
"In many countries where homosexuality has not taken root yet, men holding hands is simply a sign of friendship."
You certainly aren't talking about muslum countries:

Bush: "Well, if this is what it's gonna take to get oil prices to come down..." LOL!
I will NOT post a picture in reply........nope, ain't gonna do it - wouldn't be prudent.
(See today's new tagline)
The best caption I've seen regarding this picture was shown tonight on Brit Hume's show. It was a rebroadcast from one of last night's shows and after they walk in together it say's:
"WHAT HAPPENS IN CRAWFORD, STAYS IN CRAWFORD"!
What say we Execute you the way your buddies in Iraq are Executing Innocents ?
NEW YORK TIMES headline tomorrow: Photographic proof that Bush is in bed with Big Oil!
I have been told it is a symbol of deep trust in the Arab world. I saw too many women publicly holding hands in Spain to conclude they were all gay. Many turned out to be mother and daughter.
good idea!
I thought:
" Now which hand is it they wipe with?"
Notice the prince is holding W's left hand, he must know that in the good old USA we use toilet paper.
