Dennis Miller and Obama's Bow



Transcript

DENNIS MILLER: As far as that gesture goes, I don't know what you want to call it, but you might go back to the previous Democratic administration with Bill Clinton, 'cause I'm pretty sure he had an accurate phrase for that gesture that just happened there.

The thing about the Saudis is they are the grown-up equivalent of our childhood imaginary friends. And if you start kissing butts on them, they present it to you five times a day. So you're setting a bad precedent.

Listen, I like Gates. I like the way we're handling Iraq, which is staying in like Bush would. I like him going to the mat in Afghanistan. But we gotta quit apologizing to every B-lister in a leopard skin fez and a doorman's outfit from the Plaza Hotel.

America is a great country and we need not constantly chide ourselves. They're the ones who whip themselves on the back, not us.

BILL O'REILLY: OK. Now the White House says it wasn't a bow, and you're saying... what?

MILLER: I don't want to get into that 'what is is.' The guy came up to a guy dressed up like Sergeant Bilko in a sketch and bent over down to his hips. Whatever you want to call that, it looks weird. He's the president of the United States.

You know what? If he's gonna bow for this misogynistic pig, why doesn't he bow for the Queen, for God's sakes? She's done a lot more good in this world than him. If he doesn't like to bow, fine. Don't bow for anybody. But don't bow to this misogynist.

Obama, the President of the United States and leader of the free world, bows to a Saudi King who represents a despotic regime noted for its’ human rights violations, a birthplace of terrorists, a symbol of everything that is an antithesis to our system of government, and it’s no big deal?

I consider myself fortunate to have been born in a republic. I appreciate that as a citizen of a republic, I need not bow to any man or woman. We are all created equal, and blood lines do not make one person superior. This gesture by Obama should rankle every citizen for when Obama bowed as President of the United States, we all bowed.

He did bow, see the video from the latest angle:
