The author was spoofing the leftist blogger’s goofy use of “thin drool” when “gruel” is the usual term.

I made the comment on my earlier post from the Thinker that in the old days, there would have been an effort to impeach a president who made such a move. This is getting to be more blatant than the nudity in the Emperor’s New Clothes.

That’s not how I perceivd the author’s take at all. He’s using the term “drool” purposely, describing the lamestreams.

From the article:

“A self-identified ‘community college professor’ on the left wing site Firedoglake uses a lot of Anglo-Saxonisms in ridiculing conservative reaction:

‘The wingnut attention span just isn’t that long, usually, and even by these cretins’ standards this “story” is pretty thin drool.’

‘Thin drool’ is priceless, isn’t it? The expression is ‘thin gruel’, but I guess this ‘professor’ has good reason to write under a pseudonym. There’s nothing more ridiculous than an illiterate calling others cretins.”

You forgot to post the photo of Obama bowing to Queen Elizabeth . . . just an understandable oversight on your part, I’m sure . . .

If anyone has seen MSM paying attention to this signal event, a traditional acknowledgement of fealty, please let me know.

It was covered this morning on CFRA radio.

Looks like Sarkozy was enjoying it, too. Wazzup with that?

It looks like jovial surprise. Like "whoa that dude is really bowing to this murderous Arab monarch".

I wonder how long it will be before all but the most radical leftys wake up and realize that they got way more than they bargained for.

The useful leftists will "get it" when they start getting lined up and shot. No person - no problem I believe is the old KGB maxim.

Come, come now! Freepers have been a bit edgy lately (understandably, don’tcha think?) but, on the whole, I’d match the intellectual level of our group here at FR against that of any political blog or website in existence.

“You forgot to post the photo of Obama bowing to Queen Elizabeth....”

There is no picture of Obozo bowing to Queen Elizabeth, because it didn’t happen. He shook her hand.

Go figure...

Shouldn’t African-Americans be offended? Obama acting like a black who knows his place when speaking to an Arab slavemaster?

No oversight -- this thread is about the bow to the Saudi king. But, in case this escaped your vast grasp....

Did Obama bow to the Queen?

If you think his greeting to the Queen compares to the to the pronounced lowering of the Saudi bow, I might suggest an optometrist.

I see your point. I didn’t read the wingnut dribble reference ... ;)

But Lifson’s point at the end is a diss of the actual lib drool, I believe.
