In this video, former Presidents Clinton and Bush are immersed in their diplomatic duties in Haiti following January’s catastrophic earthquake that left hundreds of thousands dead in the impoverished nation.

Clinton and Bush are shaking the hands of Haitian people in the clip, but at one point Bush appears to feel something unpleasant on his hand. He shakes it around for a few seconds before settling on the next logical action: wiping the offending substance on President Clinton’s shirt.

So, is Dubya being a snob or is Clinton just way more used to having questionable substances on his hands?

Case in point: The L.A. Times set live five different stories announcing Barack Obama’s VP pick Saturday — one for Hillary Clinton, one for Evan Bayh, one for Chet Edwards, one for Kathleen Sebelius, and then the right one for Joe Biden.

The Clinton post refers to the prospective duo as the “dream team,” as CNET News conveniently caught over the weekend. Suffice it to say, the errant articles didn’t stay up for more than a few hours.

Is it the “Dewey Defeats Truman” of the 21st century? It may not be as extreme a scenario, and its impact was certainly far less widespread — but the comparison does largely hold true.

Of course, this isn’t the first blunder of its kind we’ve seen in the Web world…and I’m sure it won’t be the last, either.
