MM- CNN moron Rick Sanchez wet his pants over the video, exulting that Bush was being treated like the kid in high school with “cooties.” He then ranted about Bush as a “bully” who deserved rude treatment from the world because “What goes around comes around.” The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart cackled over the clip, too.

It was left to CNN humorist Jeanne Moos to set the dunces straight. Bush had been shaking hands and slapping backs all day long with the world’s heads of state. There was no “snub:”

CNN’s Jeanne Moos investigates the video making rounds on the internet, The Daily Show, and even CNN itself. It purports to show President Bush being “snubbed” at the G20 meeting because he’s not shaking hands with world leaders while the other leaders are. Jon Stewart mocked it and the lefty blogosphere ran with it. CNN’s own Rick Sanchez played the video and remarked that it was as if Bush had “cooties” and amounted Bush to a bully who deserved the treatment.

Turns out, Bush had spent a great deal of time earlier at the conference shaking hands with every single leader, even patting some on the back. They were very cordial and some even greeted each other on a first name-basis. Bush wasn’t “snubbed” at all.
