..."Gangs of New York", (see Glenn Greenwald's Excellent missive in Salon, yesterday). Besides, any guy that would recycle his Country's wealth into crummy T-Bills deserves some acknowledgement!

sorry but my outrage meter refuses to start on this one

Odd.

I'd kind of thought the ZOMG ELEVENTY EXCLAMATION POINTS OBAMA BOWED TO TEH KING OF TEH MUSLIMS thing would have been replaced by some other bright shiny new objet d'shithead by now -- it's about 11PM Eastern, and this "story" "broke" sometime this morning. The wingnut attention span just isn't that long, usually, and even by these cretins' standards this "story" is pretty thin drool. But no, they're still at it, and are even making it stupider. Impressive, I suppose.

As I discussed chez moi (which means "buttsex," like all other French words) this afternoon, the "evidence" that Obama "bowed" in a sycophantic fashion to Saudi Arabian monarch King Abdullah is kind of shaky. It wasn't much of a bow, and was certainly not "deep" or even any big deal (go look for yourself, about 50 seconds in). The incident did not occur in a formal setting, so "protocol" is not to the point. And anyway it's the sort of thing you'd have to be an utter imbecile to even care about in the first place, which explains, of course, why utter imbeciles seem to care about it so goddamn much....

Late Night: Obama Bows Before Bin Laden-Linked Islamic Mastermind, Sharia Law Declared in American Heartland

Late Night: BREAKING — Editor and Publisher of American Thinker NOT in Fact Cretin, Despite Drool

No reason to get upset about them. The real question, with regard to the Saudi monarch, is whether we are going to move aggressively in the direction of an oil-free society.

In the world of politics, and in this case especially geo-politics, perception, protocol, and insinuation mean everything. I agree. Our Preznit should bow to no one. Ever.

Is it the end of the world? no. But it wasn't good.

Doing with this stupid meme. I would expect this on hannity or limbaugh. What a joke

But it's funny how a little respect can go a long way. Leave Obama alone, he understands the ins and outs of social decorum a hundred times better than we ever will. I bet the dude steps out of the shower to take a piss. Now that's class!

Sean-Paul is correct,Presidents do not bow to anyone.Ever.

to me it appears as if the king or Obama dropped something. Everyone is looking down at a lower level than a bow would be. The king and Sarkozy are smiling as if there's something funny that is happening. "Methinks you'all protests too much". He sure didn't bow to the Queen of England.
