Handshakegate….

Well…with the improvement of the ACA website and the spate of good news stories coming out, we just knew that there would be another shiny object that the right and Fox “news” would trot out to keep their rabid followers salivating on how bad Obama is…the latest, as you can see from the snark headline above, is the fact that Obama shook Raul Castro’s hand at the funeral for Mandela. Now, is this the next impeachable offense that the tea partiers will bring to the House? Look, this is one of the stupidist controversies that I can remember the right pushing…well, no, all of them are stupid, but these folks think that no one remembers history anymore…like maybe Nixon shaking Mao’s hand? Or Cheney fawning all all over Saddam? Or Eisenhower shaking Khruschev’s hand? These guys on Fox seem like they just aren’t trying anymore…if you have to gin up a controversy over a handshake, it just means they have nothing…and never have…geez…
