I'm just pointing out Rap's hypocrisy. That's all.

Not that we hate Bush, JS, but fair-minded people should point out the irony of rapo castigating Obama for something that Bush himself has done.

Wouldn't you agree?

Jeeeesh! Give our President a break will ya? He was not bowing to the Arab King. What happened was his State Dept.-issued "Islam Is A Religion Of Peace" policy reminder card fell out of his top pocket, and he was merely retrieving it off the floor. You people and your political attacks are just not being fair.

Shrub tended to hook up some local threads on occasion, himself, and frankly I thought it was pretty cool of him.



That oughta look dapper, but goddamn Putin makes it look badass... but then, that's Putin, seriously even Emperor Palpatine kinda pales in comparison.

I'm enjoying being proven right...

Just curious, but whats the official procedure for the President when dealing with the Japanese head of state?

Do they both bow at the equal level and at the same time, or do they not bow at all?

Somehow, the First Lady of the U.S. isn't good enough to touch the Queen of England, but the President is TOO good to bow to the King of Saudi Arabia.

At least, that's the read I get out of it from the reaction of those on the right.

So, basically what you're saying is, a black person can do anything they want, and not be criticized ? Because they're black?

Makes sense to me.

So basically what you're saying is that a black person can't do anything right, simply because they're black?

Seems about your speed.

Bowing one's head, and a full frontal bow are two separate acts. Bush simply acknowledges the authority of the Pope, as liaison to the big guy upstairs. Bowing to a head of state, ala the King of S.A., where both are at least seen as equals, is a big no no.

Did not say anything about threads regarding illegal wiretaps, that's your strawman.
