Glass House Charge
LGF claims a Bush bow and advises the right to stop hyperventilating about Obama’s. It looks more like Bush is bending to receive some kind of Saudi gong.

As much as I respect Charles Johnson and his blog for the untiring battle against Islamicism, I think he’s wrong in this case. It wasn’t a Bush “bow”, it was Bush bending down to have a medal put around his neck. Obama’s bow wasn’t a “contortion”, it was a bow, performed by the American president to a monarch, anathema to this nation borne of a revolution to abolish royal rule. It was an insult to Americans, and politically stupid, and deserves far more attention than it got in the MSM.
