Bush's blunders of touch!
Here is a snippet that I found, after I heard Street Sense's jockey Calvin Borel being interviewed before the Preakness (which he didn't win). Borel had been invited at the last minute to the state dinner with Queen Elizabeth.
In the pre-Preakness interview, Borel said Bush had actually picked him up (!!!). Is this Little People Harassment? That would be in addition to Head of State Harassment (Angela Merkel) and, in my opinion, Firefighter Harassment ( with the bullhorn after 9/11).

from ESPN
"Between winning the roses and reporting for the first post Wednesday, an eighth-grade dropout and life-long second-tier jockey wound up in a tuxedo at the White House. He and his fiancée, Lisa Funk, rubbed elbows with some of the most powerful and influential people in the world at a last-minute invitee to a state dinner.
Calvin Borel, about as worldly as the horse he rode in on, was actually bear-hugged by the president of the United States.
"Picked me up," Borel said with a smile.
A man accustomed to risking his life daily on the racetrack was justifiably scared up until that point. George W. Bush put Borel at ease by asking him, "Where'd you steal that tuxedo?"
"I found it by the side of the road," Borel responded, relaxing.

I was thinking to myself that I would not be all that surprised if he absent-mindedly (is there any other condition for his "mind") rubs some black person's head for luck. So I checked the Internet and found this:

Lordy.
Huh. Interesting.
