On April 8, Dennis Miller appeared on Bill O'Reilly's Fox News program and responded to a question about President Obama's bow to Saudi King Abdullah. As usual, Miller responded with his trademark of humorous sarcasm.
Miller's comments were very much in line with my blog, "A Blatant White House Lie" (4-11-09). Here is the transcript of what he had to say:
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.
