Since when did conservatives start caring about diplomacy, much less obscure rules of diplomatic decorum? I seem to remember these same bloggers defending a previous president who (while not actively pissing off the entire world with his policies and rhetoric), took the time to give the Chancellor of Germany an awkward neck massage, told the Pope he gave an "awesome speech", and, after implying that the Queen was over 200 years old, turned around and winked at her. Indeed, I'm pretty sure that these same bloggers would have lept to George Bush's defense if he had tackled the Queen 'Naked Gun' style or belched in her face.

I came across this post responding to the Right wingnuts' determination to find ways to make the Obama's look bad on their first oversea trip. The First Lady was a big hit in Europe... with her genuine warmth and great ability to connect with people. As usual the loons on the Right are so pissed at the Obama's popularity, they resort to sneering and sniping. As for protocol...nothing will ever top W's father--George H.W. Bush--who threw up on the Japanese Minister. (video here, if you can stomach it)

Geesh! This is what I'm talking about. Where is Walter Cronkite? This isn't news! (Good for you for cutting it out of your life. I can't take it anymore and when I do return, it will be for the BBC exclusively.)
