In 2005 when George W. Bush held Abdullah’s hand the media was all over it.  Brian Williams with NBC brought it up directly on the Nightly News.  David Letterman on CBS even featured it on his-

“Top 10 Thoughts Going Through Pres.Bush’s Mind at This Moment”

#1. “I’m officially the gayest President since Lincoln.”

In Arab society it is actually common for men who are friends to hold hands while they talk.  It’s a gesture of respect.  Bowing however is not a gesture of respect and is not common in Arab society.  It is common however among Muslims. Hmmm? Makes you think.

How can people say the media is not biased and slanted when obviously the two Presidents are treated so differently.  President Bush was shown no respect by the liberal drive by media.
