MOSCOW, - A Russian TV station said it has dismissed a news anchor for flipping the bird while reading an item about U.S. President Barack Obama.
REN TV said it dismissed anchor Tatiana Limanova after she made the obscene gesture while saying the president's name during a Nov. 14 story about the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation conference, RIA Novosti reported Thursday.
However, officials with the TV station said Limanova's gesture was not aimed at Obama but rather at "editorial staff" colleagues who were attempting to distract her from off-camera.
"This does not diminish her guilt and cannot be considered an excuse. The REN TV management views this action as the gravest violation of on-air discipline and a demonstration of unprofessionalism," the station said in a statement.

Bump for a totally cool news anchor.
We should send her flowers...and a thank you card.
You are correct of course; offending a fellow Communist (especially a Muslim Communist) is a serious offense in the Mother Country. Come to think of it it can be here in the USA too.
Now it says that Ms.Komrade Limanova is currently “unemployed”... over in the newly reconstituted USSR that essentially means that she is now really employed at the bottom of a salt mine deep beneath the Siberian permafrost somewhere, does it not?
He’s planning a trip over there right now so he can bow and apologize to her.
Re: “We should send her flowers...and a thank you card.”
It’d better be a pretty big one if we’re gonna get about a million and a half FReeper’s signatures on it, don’t ya reckon?
Maybe she'd like to immigrate.
There must be some way of getting contact information for her. It would be great if the international media would report on how Ms. Tatiana was much loved by Americans as shown by an outpouring of support by those who appreciated her opinion of BO.
I hear she has a whole flock of them in her pocket.
We should FREEP REN TV and demand they give her her job back. Truth hurts and she told it like it is!! Bravo Tatianna!!!!
There’s got to be a conservative cable or web TV broadcaster somewhere in the US who could put her on at least occasionally.
Have her read the daily news and whenever she has to mention the exalted One give her famous “salute”, only cover it with a “Censored” sign like they do for Steven Tyler on the “American Idol” show and “Bleep” it with the sound effect of a party whoop-whistle.
Alternatively, she could just spit.
Could she curse in Russian and not get in trouble with the US FCC I wonder? That would be a hoot! She seems to have a natural gift for expressing contempt.
Ms. Tatiyana also seems to do a bang up deadpan impression if I ever saw one. I wonder if she’s ever tried a stand up comedy act?
I have a feeling that her staff were probably trying to get her to laugh on the air - perhaps to lighten her up a little. If her bird was really directed towards them, then the coincidental timing was impeccable!
Here it is in Japanese You Tube. The Spanish one has been pulled down already and I can’t find any in English.

That one will probably be going down soon too.
