Looks that way to me. I just wish we had an angle that showed where their pinkies were.

It looks like you can see the last two fingers of Monson's hand curling under Bush's, and they're flush together with each other, which would imply that Monson and Bush's pinkies could not be interlocked.

This reminds me of a time recently when I was holding hands with my wife for some reason in the "shaking hands" position rather than side by side, and as a little joke she slipped me "that handshake", and I looked at her askance with that "I can't believe you just did that" sort of expression, and then it clicked inside her mind and she was like "ah oh, I wasn't thinking."

Didn't mean anything at all to me, that's just Joseph's Myth's plagiarized masonic secret handshake, but to her it's supposed to be all secret, sacred, and holy.

I don't know about anyone else, but it just looks like a handshake.

Considering all the various ways my hand has been gripped by hanshake whilst moving among society, I'd say it's nothing to get worked up over.

Was Monson a Bonesman?

I suspect the Skull and Bones Club has more handshakes than the Three Stooges.
