There They Go Again: Foxsuckers

-by NOAH

Well, it just seems that President Obama can’t leave our country without the Republikook Party spitting and foaming at the their whining gangrenous pieholes about some sort of imaginary continuing “Apology Tour” that our President is supposedly undertaking in order to turn us into a nation of commiemuslimpinkofeminazihomos who will end up breeding ourselves into a race of giant, dark-hued and big afro-ed Angela Davis look-alikes in a pair of jackboots, machete holster, and a reasonable health care policy in one hand and a fully motorized dildo in the other.

This Monday morning, The Padded Cell Channel’s “Fox & Fiends” show invited Dubya’s ever-flatulent gasbag propagandista Karl Rove on to tsk-tsk about President Obama going to Japan and offering a courtesy bow to Japan’s Emperor; really important stuff! Show co-host Steve “Dufus” Doocy jumped in with the utterly baseless claim that shock, horror, such things simply are not done, the sky will fall, etc., etc. What seemed to irk the half-witted intellect of Steve Dufus the most was that it was “a very deep bow.” “deep," and, probing, too, I bet, eh Stevie? He went on to brazenly bullshit (What else do they do on FOX?) that there “is a long standing precedent going back to the founding of the republican (Take note of the ‘n’. This is not a typo.) American Presidents don’t bow to anybody.” In a perfect Freudian slip, he actually does say ‘republican’ where rational people would say ‘republic’. Like a good little Murdoch puppet boy, Dufus prattles on about previously perceived grievances, including Obama having once bowed to Saudi King Abdullah. The simultaneous visual on the screen features Obama and the Saudi King as Dufous says “There’s Abdullah right there. He’s goin' down”. Interesting choice of words, Stevie, very interesting. We read you loud and clear. I am getting your “sublublibminal” massage! But, I am surprised that your producer folks didn’t fade up the 70s wah-wah porno music as you spoke.



This is how stupid the FOX people think their gullible and easily led around by the nose viewers are. Rupert Murdoch and FOX have built a little empire out of playing viewers for suckers and fools. FOX will say that it covers stories that other media do not. That’s because they often don’t exist until they make them up. They will create a non-story and treat it as news of importance. As is often the case, the story is just that, a story; a mountain made from a molehill or a complete fiction pulled out of thin air or Sean Insanity’s fat ass. It is a story with a designed agenda. In this case it is one designed to push fear of a leader who will willfully do us all in. The screen shows a line that reads “Gesture in Japan under fire”. Well, yes, at Fox, if not elsewhere, but, maybe, soon in the rest of the media if Fox is successful in seeding this story out to the only slightly saner media world. This is how it works in Murdoch land; fabricate, distort, and spread. On cue, Rove chirps in that Obama’s gesture is “inappropriate”, going on about “that deep bow from the waist”, “weakness”, “world-wide apology tour”, “deep bow from the waist” again, “values”, blah, blah, blah; the usual hot air that you get from people who resent that they no longer walk the corridors of power and are reduced to playing second banana to the likes of the simpletons on FOX. Relax Karl. You’ve got it easy and you know it. If I were in Doocy’s chair, I’d ask you why you and your cronies aren’t in jail for what you did to Governor Siegelman, election theft, outing agents or whatever. Whatsamatter gasboy, can’t get your boyfriends in the pressroom anymore? Inappropriate, my ass. Obama isn’t the one who needs to go on an apology tour.

The reality is that a bow goes a long way in Japan and elsewhere. It is traditional and honorable diplomatic protocol. It’s about people showing respect for others. That’s something the loonsquads of the right have very little, if any, familiarity with and it troubles them greatly, as well it should. Maybe, I should be more sympathetic and understanding of bitter old Karl. He probably can’t look at Obama bowing without being reminded of the day that the either hated librul media, or some private dicks that he had hired, snapped these caught in the act photos of Bush kissing an arab. Did these get him all hot with jealous rage, or just all hot?

I can’t wait to hear what Slimebaugh has to say about this whole bowing thing. No doubt his stock phrases/obsessions “bend over,” “grab your heels” and similar will be included. Sean Insanity is running a picture caption contest on his site. Fox Nation points out that the President’s wife only patted England’s Queen “on the back”, but I seem to remember the loonies going nuts about her touching the Queen. Complete crackpot site Newsmax runs with an outright lie with a Daniel Ruddy screed headlined “No American President Ever Bowed to a Foreign Leader- Until Now”. He also questions President Obama’s motives (sinister, no doubt) in doing so. Ruddy happens to have a new book on American History coming out through Harper Collins. Shall I question their motives? I sure won’t be reading the book if today’s fiction by Ruddy is any indication of what I can expect, and, it is. Do any of these cretins remember Dubya groping the head of Germany or his dad puking in the lap of Japan’s Prime Minister? Or even Nixon bowing to Emperor Hirohito, on American soil no less? Probably not, after all, memory requires some megs in the cabeza.
 
There’s nothing odd or unusual about Presidential bowing. Even republican presidents have done it, as you can see with President Eisenhower and French President Charles De Gaulle below. By the way, those two didn’t exactly care for each other, but Ike was a man of common sense, not a bitter, frustrated, sputtering gasbag. Near the end of WWII. Ike even knew the value of letting De Gaulle lead French troops into Paris, right under the Arc de Triomphe, ahead of the troops who had a lot more to do with liberating France from the Germans. It’s called diplomacy and it earned the gratitude and cooperation of De Gaulle for over 20 years as the world tried to rebuild. The far right of Ike’s day thought that he, too, was a commie, or at least a sympathizer. The difference is that now the devious far right evil doers have their own TV station. Maybe diplomacy doesn’t let you get your rocks off in quite the same way. And maybe it doesn’t fill you with the sense of instant gratification that bombs bursting in air does, but, diplomacy works more often. Besides, it sure beats stuffing your crotch, donning a manly flight suit and landing on an aircraft carrier to stand in front of a huge “Mission Accomplished” banner. Here’s another word for Karl and Steve: Substance. Look it up in the dictionary, even if you have to learn the alphabet first.
