The Camera Never Lies

Unless you belong to the Bush family, then you can say it does. This includes Poppa Bush, our 41st President. After having lunch with actress Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives, the two parted ways in a slightly less than formal manner. The video shows him patting her on the buttocks and a nice kiss on the cheek. The former President is a quite the daredevil, being a veteran 80-something year old skydiver but going after Teri like that exposes a man that wants to get everything out of life that he can.

Apparently the old man has been teased by his friends after the video surfaced, but he feigns innocence:


He told US TV show Extra, "I have been teased about it relentlessly. (A website) accused me of patting her backside, which I did not do. The camera lies, it's a fraud."


Of course with the aid of photoshop almost anything can be manipulated with a few clicks and keystrokes. Yet after close inspection of the clip, it certainly looks real to me. So why does George Sr deny it, whats wrong with a frisky 82 year old man having a little fun. Perhaps Barbara heard about it and he caught hell from the ol' family matriarch.
