Fox Freaks Over Obama Bow


According to DailyKos, Fox "News" went ballistic when President Obama had the audacity to show good manners and BOW to Emperor Akihito of Japan (above).

But, as we all know, conservatives are idiots and should keep their mouths shut about such things - since there is plenty of evidence showing past Republican presidents had manners also...

Here is President Eisenhower actually BOWING TO A FRENCH PERSON - Charles De Gaulle...


I love how De Gaulle is all like, "Hey Ike, take ze picture, it lasts longer".

Further evidence - Richard Nixon actually BOWED TO THE DUDE WHO ORDERED THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR - Japanese Emperor Hirohito...


Maybe Fox news would have preferred the George W. Bush approach ... slipping Saudi royals "the tongue", with a little reach-around butt grabbing for good luck...


Ultimately, I'm sure conservatives prefer the "George H.W. Bush Method" ... simply BARF on the foreign dignitary beside you. No bowing necessary.

i feel like this encompasses everything liberals and republicans feel about foreign policy... liberals generally want to be as diplomatic and mannered as possible, whereas republicans prefer to "show 'em who's boss" ... where does that get anyone? i mean, did they expect obama to knee the emperor in the balls or something? jeez...

but then again, if obama HAD kneed him in the balls ~ or simply shook his hand rather than bowed ~ we all know fox would've had something negative to say about THAT, too. frigging douchenozzles.

Faux news is such a joke....and the Bushies are very, very tight with the Saudi family...not necessarily a bad thing, but seems this was the only foreign leader they cared about...hmmmmm????

oh and david, google ads is doing some weird stuff to your blog, have you noticed? like one of the ads tonight is for "republican singles." eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww... (ok, i'll admit, one of my exes was a rep., i'm not proud to admit).

Todd -

Sorry about the Republican singles thing... but think of it this way, they (Repubs) must pay if someone clicks on it! :)

Also, I couldn't approve your fist comment. Right-wing idiots have been taking "violent" comments on progressive/gay blogs and using it against us. I don't want to give them any ammunition.

But, between you and I (since you and are are the only ones who know what you wrote), I agree 100%!

XOXOXOXOXOXO

david, you don't mind if i repost it here (i've edited to fit your guidelines).

i read that kristol had a fit and was going on and on about how cheney only shook the emperor's hand. well, and the whole world really loved the US during the bushie/cheney years, didn't they?

obama is a super classy guy, not to mention intelligent. the right wing nuts in this country should be tied up, gagged, whipped, all those douchebags from hell. wait, they might like it. i wish someone would shut ms. palin up, that's for sure.
