Bill Maher: Michael Jackson invites 12-year-old boys to his ranch for milk and cookies, George Bush invites Saudi Crown Prince to his ranch for milk and cookies.

Al Franken: People are saying that the hand-holding is a Saudi thing. But I think it might be more of a Prince Abdullah thing.

US Senator Chuck Schumer: While Abdullah holds the President's hand, his other hand is picking the pockets of Americans with sky-high oil prices.

Andy Borowitz: Advice to the U.S. gay & lesbian community regarding gay marriage - come up with several hundred million barrels of crude.

Bluejives: US Secretary of State Condi Rice: "my husband...er...I mean the President never holds my hand. Hmmf!"

Bluejives: Prime Minister Junichiro Kozumi: "does this have something to do with me?"

Bluejives: Dear Leader Kim Jong Il: "what a pair of wierdos..."

Bluejives: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's telegram to Premier Wen Jiabao: "hey, how come you never held my hand when you visited me, huh?"

As someone once said, politics make strange bedfellows.
