You’ve seen The Hug; now witness The Kiss. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… George and Joe’s man-love! (Click the image to watch a six-second, 568 KB movie file.)

Here’s a close-up movie clip (356 KB). Both clips courtesy C-SPAN.

Bush and Lieberman, sittin’ in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G… :)

P.S. Fun with Photoshop:

Okay, that’s enough SOTU blogging; I have Legal Ethics reading to do, and much-needed sleep to catch up on. I’ll leave you with some more photos of The Hug:

It really was poignant. And to those on the Left (cough cough, Wolf Blitzer) who would imply or insinuate that it was “scripted” or “staged,” I say you’re far too cynical for your own good. Is it really that difficult to believe that a woman whose country was liberated by the U.S. military would genuinely want to hug the mother of a soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice in that effort to secure freedom for her people? Even if you opposed the war, surely you can grasp the sincerity of that moment. Must every pro-Bush moment be assumed to be a nefarious Karl Rove plot? Jeez.

Anyway… I’m out. Happy Groundhog Day to all, and to all a good night.
