Heres a rare Saturday OOTD for Hot Air readers, but this one cant wait for Monday. Andrew Malcolm reports on Barack Obamas latest breach of protocol, this time with Emperor Akihito of Japan
"This photo will get Democrat President Obama a lot of approving nods in Japan this weekend, especially among the older generation of Japanese who still pay attention to the royal family living in its downtown castle. Very low bows like this are a sign of great respect and deference for a superior."
Can you imagine what the MSM would be screaming if Bush did this? I remember back during the Reagan administration when a low level State Department flunkie curtsied to Prince Charles and Di — and the talking heads screamed for days!
Heck, if Bush did this, there would already be Impeachment Bills circulating in both chambers of Congress.
Thank you. Sorry, I was offline for almost a week dealing with a trojan on my computer. :(
