I shook his hand at a rally in 2000 in Florida. I'm sorry to admit it now that I see what kind of prez he's been. I've held a pretty trivial secret for these four years but after seeing how low some of the GOP attacks have already gotten I feel justified in revealing that President Bush has absolutely awful breath. Now it could have been a bad day. We all have them. One too many coffees. A overly-dry bagel. Whatever. But when we shook hands (strong handshake which I like!) he smiled and breathed at me (strong breath which I really, really don't like). I won't go into detail but it was unpleasant and might explain the looks people are giving him in press pics. Do with this as you will.
