1. Amazing the kind of shit right wing nut jobs will focus on.

I heard Randi Rhodes play a clip of one of them ...one of the radio guys, describing it as "Obama playing grab-ass" with the "hot" Danish Prime Minister, while Michele glared at them in anger. Now that I actually see the picture he was talking about, I see that it was a totally innocent exchange, initiated by the Danish P.M., to capture the historic moment of being seated between these heads of state at Mandela's funeral. No grab-ass. No glaring Michele.

I wonder if the same fuss would have been made if the woman with the cell phone was black.
