Not sure how the hell I missed this, but thankfully Camille was nice enough to make sure I saw it:

Wow I am so very OUTRAGED...oh wait I don't give a shit.

We have been groveling at the feet of our Saudi masters instead of putting together a decent national energy plan for so long what difference does it make if we bow?

Conservatives would get more upset about symbolic obsequiousness than the real obsequiousness we've been showing the Saudis for decades, wouldn't they?

The video ends before Obama bends over, the Saudi king hikes his robes, and the Marti-approved orgy begins.  :P

Because she's on the left.

Google "Camille Paglia" if you don't know who she is.  Or just ask garbon.

Is bowing to a foreign head of state supposed to be a bad thing?

Man this growing list of Faux outrage is getting annoying.  OMG he gave the queen an Ipod!  OMG he talked to the Russians!  OMG he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Everything Obama says generates outrage by his opponents.  It is beyond retarded.  I am suffering from idiot fatique.  After 8 years of Clinton and 8 years of Bush I just cannot take more of these rants over stupid things nobody cares about.

Conservative loonies have to show they can out-loon the Leftist loonies, who have had a lot of practice the past eight years.
