Reminds me of when I shook hands with Nixon at the tender age of eight.
My Republican mother had taken me to Youngstown for his speech and baby kissing tour in 1972. Tricky Dick took my hand, said, "Nice to meet ya, young fella." and moved down the barricade. When we got home, my Mom gleefully told Pop, her FDR Democrat husband, "Davey shook hands with the president!". He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and said;

"You shook hands with Nixon?"

"Yessir."

"Go wash it."

Dave
