Hugs, Hair and Pretty Faces

From the Department of Strange comes Dubya's penchant for just strange behavior. Wonkette has done a good job of cataloging Bush's obsession with men's faces. Well, the "beautiful" ones at least. It's one thing to repeatedly mentioning men's "pretty" faces. But it's downright odd that Bush would comment on Brit Hume's decidedly un-pretty face. In the middle of an nationally televised interview.

Now comes this. Claiming that he's not able to help himself (there's that personal responsibility again) he insults a woman in the audience of one of his town hall meetings.

With that, Bush moved quickly to end the session. He turned to Bob Watson, superintendent of the El Dorado Public Schools who had opened the meeting by inadvertently insulting Bush.

"Governor excuse me, President," Watson said.

Bush muttered, "How quickly they forget."

When Watson offered to shake Bush's hand, the president shot back: "Just don't hug me."
