“No, George, Your OTHER Right Hand…”

• My first thought though is he left handed? I know his father was, I am and it's the first thing that came to mind.

• @Thomas: According to Infoplease's Left-Handed Presidents page, George W. Bush is the first right-handed president since Jimmy Carter. The southpaw Presidents are: James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

• Whose bright idea was it to have the APEC bigwigs all dress in identical overcoats and wave like they're Soviet-era Great-Leader-Hails-a-Cab statuary.

  It's like they deliberately set out to impersonate this statue of Kim Il-Sung — and succeeded.

• At least he raised his hand; I can see one PM (sort of...) that doesn't appear to have made the effort.

• @Chris Taylor: One could argue that the group wave was modelled after the Beverley Hillbillies waving goodbye as the end credits rolled.

• I guess this is the time to fess up that I've never watched an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies. Not sure if that should make me proud or ashamed. =)

• Thanks for the find Joey. It was my first thought, I had looked online but hadn't found anything about if he was right handed and didn't come across that page.
