Meghan McCain is not happy with NBC's Brian Williams. Why? According to McCain, the television anchor is so enamored with President Barack Obama that he committed the unforgivable sin of "bowing" before the man during his exclusive White House fluff piece that aired this week.
Here's video of the offensive gesture in question.

And here's McCain, firing off her disapproval via Twitter:
McCainBloggette: Brian Williams just bowed to Obama? WTF, I mean seriously press corps we all know how you feel about him but now your [sic.] bowing to the President?
McCainBloggette: interpret it as a bow or head nod, I just can't imagine a journalist doing that to a republican president maybe I'm wrong...
Bowing is much on the minds of Obama's critics. The president himself was criticized for his bow to the Saudi King, and now Williams faces scrutiny for offering what is, after all, a gesture of kindness.

“Bowing”? Must be a typo, I think they forgot the “L”.

Brian Williams had to bow to Obama.
I mean, how else is he supposed to get his nose up Obama’s ass from that angle?

These days if a journalist doesn’t drop trou and offer himself up a like a jailhouse princess the other reporters wonder what his problem is.

Bowing is an acceptable gesture only in those cultures where you HAVE to bend over. The US is halfway there.”
Right on the mark RIChris!

Does one have to bow in Japan? I'm only asking, not condoning Williams' gesture of adulation to the Scatterbrain.

It's custom in JAPAN. I watched it several times (my stomach has its limits) and Williams was quite awkward with the maneuver, not at all spontaneous as it would be in Japan. The whole thing looked a bit staged to me.
