Shower curtains to be sure, made, of course, of the highest quality of plastic that money can buy. And while we’re on the subject, will someone please tie this woman’s calves together..you could drive a semi through those legs, with room left on both sides.

The bizarre thing is that most Americans could probably agree that the gum-chewing was perceived a rude act in India and Obama should have refrained, but it’s not exactly an impeachable offense. A minor error is a minor error.

You can bet if it were Bush or Cheney, it would have been the top story on MSDNC.

It was rude and disrespectful at the WWE memorial last summer. You’d think someone would have clued him in.

It is not good manners to chew gum and do a lot of other things at solemn, dignified occasions. Plus, he is representing the American people, for goodness sake.

Maybe I’m born in a barn, but I don’t see why.

No, we all have questioned mores and cultural behaviors. Chewing gum is like fidgeting and squirming in church. You just don’t do it. It distracts others and is disrespectful toward the speaker.
