More loving kisses from the comrades

Being kissed by East German Communist leader Erich Honecker was "disgusting," former Polish communist leader General Wojciech Jaruzelski was quoted as saying .

In an interview with Germany's Die Welt newspaper, Jaruzelski said that meetings with Honecker always began with hugs and fraternal socialist kisses on the cheeks.

"I exchanged many embraces with Honecker. He had this disgusting way of kissing," Jaruzelski, who was prime minister of Poland from 1981 to 1985 and president from 1985 to 1990, was quoted as saying. Honecker, who ruled East Germany from 1971 to 1989, died in 1994.
