Ugh, Bill Clinton gave me one of the worst handshakes of my life one time. Total limp fish, the kind that makes you feel like maybe you should wash your hand to get rid of the feeling. I feel like I’d pass on him.
He also couldn’t be bothered to stop the conversation he was having with a staff member (about nothing important) or even glance my way. He engaged with everyone before and after me, so it really stood out, to the point that a couple of people commented on how rude it was. It was kind of crushing - I was like, 20, and had really admired him as a kid, and then I paid what was a ton of money for me at the time and waited for hours for nothing. Now that I’m older and a lot more cynical, I wouldn’t pay to meet him in the first place, and I definitely wouldn’t be surprised by a politician acting like an ass, but back then I was still young and idealistic and had feelings that could be hurt.
