24. And that was just a Prince
Who knows what he would have done for the King. Maybe teabag him or something. We need teabagger smilies.

3. I would think when in another country you go by their etiquette.

If this is they way to greet someone then so be it. The back rub of Merkel by shrub was a hell of a lot more embarrasing. The press is bullshit!

How come nothing was said about shrubs kissing by the press. Thanks for posting the pics.

falling apart. The BS with Michelle Obama's verses model Carla Bruni's 'style' was also unbelievable dumb-ass fodder.






Battle of STYLE WARS?

6. Of Course He Bowed - It's Obvious On The Tape
The bowing doesn't thrill me - Saudi Arabia is not exactly a paragon of virtue. But denying the bowing drives me nuts.

13. Even Lying About Bowing?
You don't find that to be pathetic? And of course the $12 trillion Paulson/Summers/Geithner Banker bailout, breaking the UAW, and so forth.

7. Guess what, I don't give a shit.. I do care about the depression, children
and vets sleeping on streets, and lack of health care.. Diversions are just another way to NOT talk about the real issues.. I'm sure some other blond child will end up on the missing/ media obsession list all summer long.

8. they need to get over the tabloid trash already. they can really beat this crap into the ground
endlessly.

I guess it keeps them from having to do any real work or true journalism - like investigating and talking about the depression we're in, lack of healthcare, poverty, joblessness etc.

18. What everyone overlooks is that he shook hands, too.
There's a difference between bowing and bowing down. And why wasn't it a story when Bush kissed and held hands with the Saudi King as if they were on their first date?

23. Just for the sake of getting them to STFU, let's all agree he bowed.
There was no lip locking, no hand holding and no flying of the Bin Ladens out of the country, just an alleged "bow." Whoop-de-fucking-do.
