The fist bump heard 'round the world

The media is apparently obsessed with the fist bump that Michelle Obama gave her husband on the stage when he made his first speech as the presumptive Democratic nominee on Tuesday.



And Fox News couldn't resist taking advantage of the opportunity to yet again imply that there's something not right about Obama, by referring to the gesture as a "terrorist fist bump." Seriously.



They also suggested that a pat on the back is the only acceptable public gesture, but Bush is famous for using all sorts of weird body contact, including patting people on the head and lately, the chest bump (at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony). Fox, of course, didn't bother to comment on this. [Note - I have no problem with this at all, I'm just annoyed that Fox is selective in their criticism.]
