Lisa:

I watched an old clip of a spectacularly well known Toronto politician greeting a woman in the crowd. He wiped his finger back and forth under his nose…then shook her hand. Nooooooo! Gross? Yes.  Spreading a worldwide, catastrophic plague? Possibly.   Insight into his character? Hmmm. Does he think his bodily functions are nectar from the gods? It is NOT OK. Not in a politician, not for anyone. Yuk! NEVER!

Trish:

Well the camera person filming that exchange sure had a nose for the news!  Of course the politician’s nose wiping/handshake was definitely rude, gross, and in extremely poor taste, but is this news? Is this really something we need to see? If it is a live taping, they have little choice, but to later re-air this clip, unedited, give me a break! is nose news really good news?
