At Sunday's Kennedy Center Honors, President Bush honored his famous foe Barbra Streisand for her contributions to American culture.
He kissed her on the cheek -- and she smooched him back, The Associated Press reports.
See what a body language expert had to say about these famous smooches.
"Art transcends politics this weekend," said Streisand, a longtime Democrat who has previously claimed that Bush's election wins in 2000 and 2004 were stolen.
She added that it would have been "lovely" if she could have received the award while President-elect Barack Obama was in office.
The kiss-and-hug exchange was later replayed at a gala, and the crowd -- including Morgan Freeman, First lady Laura Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice -- couldn't help but crack up.
Streisand's distaste for Bush is so strong, her step-son Josh Brolin recently told W magazine, that she didn't want him to play the Republican president in the new Oliver Stone biopic.
Check out how closely these stars resemble the real people they've played in movies.
"She said, 'How much are you getting paid?' I told her it was a very low fee. She said, 'Then why are you doing it?'
He added, "She was furious and would not talk to me."

SteveWOW! You folks are really sophisticated and special. Go ahead and mock Ms. Streisand for her political beliefs -- not only do they have absolutely NOTHING to do with her once-in-a-generation talent that has brightened so many lives, but she is ALSO a private citizen with a RIGHT to her own opinions and her own ideas. If you don't agree with all of her politics, then ignore them; be adureport abuseposted December 25, 2008 9:09 PM PST
