Who's fist jabbing now?

By Libby

I wasn't surprised, but was more appalled then usual at this ridiculous teaser this weekend over the "fist bump" exchanged between Obama and his wife.

During the June 6 edition of Fox News’ America’s Pulse, host E.D. Hill teased an upcoming discussion by saying, “A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.”

Actually, everyone except the braindead White House stenos at Fox pretty much interpreted it as a perfectly innocent gesture but if Fox wants to speculate about the deeper meanings of this, perhaps they want to analyse Gov. Easley's greeting to Obama at yesterday's rally. And while they're at it, perhaps they would like to ask the first President Bush, the signifigance of this gesture.

If only life was really like an episode of Survivor, we could have voted the idiots at Fox off the island by now.

Fester's update said 'Ol'Froth has more on this'. But upon taking the link and scrolling down to the relevant post at the homepage of Slosh B-Gosh, all I found was a photo of the Obamas and a link to the brief post at Crooks and Liars that Libby originally linked to.

The Crooks and Liars post was based on and links to a better post at Media Matters which includes a video and a complete transcript of the Hill-Driver interview -- in which Driver's body-language analysis makes Hill's 'terrorist' teaser look like the complete idiocy it is -- followed by 73 comments about how this sort of Faux News idiocy is driving off viewers -- even hard-core koolaid-sniffers who still have half a functioning brain.

So as far as I'm concerned, the more Faux idiocy, the better.

Hey Kat. I saw the Media Matters. It was really good and I also see that Hill apologized.
