I've personally shook hands with George W. Bush, Oliver North, and Sean Hanity.
I have won this thread.
First, why? Second, how did they escape the subsequent rear naked choke I assume you put them in?
Okay... Well, I was raised to be a fascist. My parents were donors to the campaign and it was at a rally. They were also donors to a "charity" run by North and Hannity. I looked up to them, this was shortly before I went to boot camp. Years of Christian school cult indoctrination had me sold on the idea that the Iraq war was just and good and I was doing my patriotic duty.
Suffice it to say, I'm not exactly welcome in such circles anymore.
Damn, of those three I've only encountered Dubya. Actually I may have shook hands with John McCain doing school journalism.
McCain is pretty bad, though I'd rather encounter him than my list. Pretty sure I met Dan Quale as a kid too.
