There’s a heck of a lot of,\u00c2\u00a0quote-in-quote\u00c2\u00a0“Poor Judgement”<\/a> emenating from Fox News as of late relating to the Presidential campaign of one Barack Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fox News has 24 hours a day to fill, or maybe it’s 18 hours or 16 hours due to repeating their prime-time programming twice and hazing through the over-night.\u00c2\u00a0 Which is why the hosts bring on the “Body Language Experts”, and where we get the question: “Terrorist Fist Jab?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I typed “Terrorist Fist Jab” into a search engine (the one that everyone uses) and went about 10 pages deep, scanning discussion boards and blog comment sections.\u00c2\u00a0 For the most part everyone thought the same “WTF?”, but I did see a couple comments along the lines of “What’s wrong with this?\u00c2\u00a0 I see no bias.\u00c2\u00a0 She’s simply asking the question as one of three possibilities.”\u00c2\u00a0 But leaving aside the particular metrics of “terrorist fist jab”, I am unclear what the ambiguity of this is which needs to be explained by an “expert”.\u00c2\u00a0 It strikes me as wondering what this expression is all about:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Go to the images for “Terrorist Fist Jab” and interestingly enough Obama does not compute at the top.\u00c2\u00a0 What you will be reminded about immediately is that it is sort of ritualistic for winning baseball teams at the end of the game to line up and give each other “Terrorist Fist Jab”s.\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps that which is being pondered and puzzled over, the “terrorist fist jab”, is actually a celebratory salute between two partners after winning a victory of some sort?\u00c2\u00a0 But that would be crazy!<\/p>\n

In the meantime, A Nazi Smirk?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Bataan Death March Embrace?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Actually, that one is a “Death March Embrace”<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0of a political variety, so forget that one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
