I Could Do That... *Ahem*

The front page of our paper today has a picture of President Bush, visiting the devastation in FL and hugging a woman, obviously providing comfort. I looked at that picture and thought, ‘I bet he gives good hugs. I could hug that man.’ He just looks like he gives good hugs. I don’t like hugging someone that is uncomfortable with it; I don’t like invading people’s space. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t go around hugging strangers, but there are times and places that it happens, family events, weddings etc, and I hate hugging someone who is uncomfortable about it.

President Bush looks very comfortable with hugging. He wraps his arms around and pulls close. He doesn’t move his face way off to the side. He looks like a good hugger. I could hug him and be very happy. And he looks like he smells nice. *grin*

I’m also laughing because this is so not me, looking at a picture of someone and thinking, “Wow, I bet he smells nice” or “I bet he hugs well”. I’m not a visual paper type person in that way. I typically have to actually be in someone’s presence, even if it is distant to make any judgment on that. How someone moves, their eyes, stuff like that comes into play with me. Which is what skeeves me out about Kerry. If I were some victim of a hurricane and he were to come visit and was doling out hugs, I’d quietly move away. I wouldn’t want to hug him. He doesn’t look like he smells nice to me. Oh and we just won’t go into the rest. Blech.

But, I could hug President Bush.
