Seeking photos of Obama bowing, to anyone, anything, anywhere.

So much of an idiot, in fact, that according to Tapper’s source, at least one Japanese paper isn’t running the photo out of embarrassment. This tool actually groveled himself into a minor international incident. The good news for O-bots? It wasn’t unprecedented. Nixon evidently made a modest bow to Hirohito in the early 70s. The bad news? “Obama’s handshake/forward lurch was so jarring and inappropriate it recalls Bush’s back-rub of Merkel." “Kyodo News is running his appropriate and reciprocated nod and shake with the Empress, certainly to show the president as dignified, and not in the form of a first...

President Obama has been branded the ‘Groveller-in-Chief’ after giving an exaggerated bow to Japan’s emperor Akihito - the son of the ruler who authorised the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Coming so soon after Remembrance Day, the deep bow caused an outcry in the U.S. While it was seen as a sign of respect in Japan, Mr Obama was attacked in America for ‘bowing and scraping’ to a foreign leader, particularly a Japanese one. Wartime scars are still raw for many Americans. The 6ft 2in President’s mark of deference to the 5ft 5in emperor in Japan on Saturday dominated discussion...

Natalie Dylan, 22, claims her offer of a one-night stand has persuaded 10,000 men to bid for sex with her. Last September, when her auction came to light, she had received bids up to £162,000 ($243,000) but since then interest in her has rocketed. The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself. Miss Dylan, from San Diego, California, USA, said she was persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23, paid for her own degree after working as a prostitute for three weeks. She said she had had...

November 26, 2008 Categories: Antics No "girly" dog for the Obamas Barbara Walters interviewed the Obamas, due to air tonight, and of course the topics of doggies came up. She, along with millions of Americans, actually sent Michelle Obama a picture of her beloved Havanese dog, Cha Cha Cha. (We're not kidding.) Here's the back and forth between Obama and Bawbwa: Obama: "Cha Cha?" Bawbwa: "It's short for Cha Cha Cha." O: "What is a Havanese?" B: "It's like a little terrier and they're non-allergenic and they're the sweetest dogs.." O: [Face suddenly changes.] "It's like a little yappy dog?"...

Press converence at White House on CNN. LOL. All the news chick could say was, "Wow!"

Just thought I'd share with Freepers a warning. A few years back, I was able to get ahold of a whole bunch of CA valley wine grapes. I sat in the kitchen, and the mutt, of course who always gets a bit of what I'm eating tried one. He loved it! So over the next few minutes or so, I ate a couple cups worth, and he must have had twenty or thirty. Sadly, the hound will have to forego any more grapes. He didn't even get sick, but I find out on the tv tonight grapes and raisins are...

Two days after announcing she would not resign as chairman of the local Democratic Party or from her state Senate seat, Kathryn Bowers said Thursday evening she is quitting as party chairman. Bowers, who said nothing Thursday about her Senate seat, is one of seven lawmakers and political operatives indicted in a federal undercover corruption probe last week. "My attorney has advised me not to address those issues. But I will say to you that I am not guilty of those allegations," Bowers said to applause from a group of 40 Democrats meeting in Midtown. "Regardless of what my personal...

Oh, that's priceless. And to those who insist that Condi isn't pretty, I say, fie upon thee! Who looks ugly, and who looks pretty in this picture, I ask you??

I'm interested to see, when I post this e-mail, which I received today, if I'm getting all the Freeper "Attack Dogs" out of the fox holes and attack me the same way they did yesterday, after posting an e-mail I received about "GAS PRISES"??

Those in the radical homosexual movement are outraged when we ask --- If a man can marry another man, why can't he marry a goat? Is the suggestion of marrying a goat outrageous? Perhaps. But who brought us to this discussion? For most of modern human history, it has been recognized that marriage is between one man and one woman. They have children, and they carry on the species. A mom and dad raising children is generally the best nurturing environment for them. Homosexuals want to be accepted as equals, not just in human kindness, but in all aspects of...
