Quote:
TOKYO, Nov 17 (AFP) - President Barack Obama's deep bow to Japan's emperor has been castigated by US critics as kowtowing to a foreign leader, but experts in Japanese etiquette praised it as an appropriate show of respect.


Your thoughts?

Who cares? It's Japan, they're not going to do anything.

Bull, if Bush did this everybody would have said "Oh, wow! Look at him, being all nice to other countries and showing the world that we still care and are not a hollow shell still existing only because nobody cares enough to invade us!"

...Not in those exact words, obviously...

Quite many people do, apparantly.

I hope that most of them are bloggers and blog lurkers, though.

I don't know whether Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck have frothed over it yet, but I would expect Glenn Beck to (because Japanese royalty are the missing link in [s]OLIGARHY[/s] OLIGARCHY).

It is sad people stoop that low to whine.
