The G-20 Summit is here (completed with G-20 security). Put on your fancy pantsuit and get ready for the most awkward political hugs you will ever see on stage. We love a good awkward political hug. We love it so much we want to give one to you right now… but we won’t. (We may give you a kiss like Captain Kirk.) Check out the 10 Most Award Political Hugs on the market.
10. The Angry Hug
What do you do when you have to publicly embrace someone you hate? If you’re John McCain, you close your eyes, pretend you’re back in a Vietnamese prison camp and hug George Bush as tightly as your damaged arms will allow. That’s right, you give him the Angry Hug. 
9. The Treacherous Hug
Sarah Palin looks like she’s enjoying this hug with John McCain, but she’s really thinking about running for President in 2012. She’s faking affection. She’s faking loyalty. She’s giving John McCain… the Treacherous Hug. 
8. The Bromancer
The Bromancer occurs when one bro hugs another bro he seriously respects and likes. Below, Barack Obama and Ted Kennedy, bros separated by race but united in spirit, share a special moment. 
7. The Publicity Hug
Nelson Mandela and Michael Jackson demonstrate the Publicity Hug, an embrace where two people who don’t know each other mug for the cameras. 
6. The Crotchgrinder
You see, sometimes, when a boy and a girl like each other, they covertly press their genitals together during a public embrace. Below, Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky bump uglies.
5. The Homoerotic Hug
You see, sometimes, when a boy and a boy like each other. Then they share a special hug. Below, Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg perform the Homoerotic Hug, a variation on the Crotchgrinder in which both participants are dudes. You will see a TON of this at the G-20.
4. Male Fantasy Hug
Britney and Madonna demonstrate the Male Fantasy Hug, in which they stare longingly into each others’ eyes and hint at upcoming lezzie play. You probably won’t see a lot of this at the G-20.
3. The Little Homie
Every big dawg has a little homie, a sidekick who looks up to him and does his bidding. Below, George Bush gives former British Prime Minister Tony Blair the Little Homie Hug, awarding him a medal for following directions and taking his country to war. 
2. The Anti-American Hug
It’s not everyday two of America’s greatest enemies hug each other. President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez share an Anti-American Hug in the picture below. 
1. The Stalin Hug
This is possibly the only recorded image of Stalin hugging somebody. Here the brutal Russian dictator embraces a little girl. He later ate her. 
It’s been a bad day, and everybody needs a hug. Check out our posts on the official Hug A Jew Day and the world’s most awkward hug.
Hug it out, b*#&hes. Hug. It. Out..
