Outrage in Washington over Obama's Japan bow


Are you kidding me? Are you FUCKING kidding me? The conservatives are wailing and whining and screeching because our president made a respectful gesture to the leader of a foreign country (one with whom, I might add, we are actually on good terms, ohoho), instead of forcing our customs on? (i.e. a handshake, fistbump, man-hug, WTF-EVER)

I mean, do these people even know what the fuck they are talking about?? Really? In Japan, a bow is the traditional greeting of every Joe Schmoe (I'm sorry, Schmoe Taro) on the street. Yes, it is a sign of humility, but it's also a sign of respect, deference, or even gratitude. Why are these shitheads all worked up?

Here, here's one of my favorites:

"I don't know why President Obama thought that was appropriate. Maybe he thought it would play well in Japan. But it's not appropriate for an American president to bow to a foreign one," said conservative pundit William Kristol speaking on the Fox News Sunday program, adding that the gesture bespoke a United States that has become weak and overly-deferential under Obama.

FUCKING CRY MOAR, YOU ASS-SUCKING PIECE OF SHIT, AND GROW A PAIR WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.






I don't, I can't even, I can't even address how fucking sad this is.
