Bowing Down To and Shaking Hands With . . .

[Damocles]

I'm not insisting anyone is wrong other than you. I said 15 posts ago that Ben Smith of the Politico talked to one person at the White House whom he described as a White House aide and that every article since has simply re-printed the quote Ben Smith got. You seem to think this aide was sent out this aide to talk to the press when there is no indication that it is actually so.

And I guess I'll continue to wait for your research on presidential bowing practices. I mean, for someone so dedicated to the truth surely you wouldn't be making shit up.

I believe the Aide was told what to say and sent out to say it, yes. That is what I have been saying.

I already told you the result of my research, this is the first President to bow to a foreign leader. I now eagerly await your research.

I suppose asking you to show your work is out of the question.

Nope, I'll revert to asking you to read again. I'm asking you to prove my source incorrect, and pointed out what source it was.

Your turn. I do not believe that you will find another instance where a sitting President ever bowed to another foreign leader.

Since my "source" is an object of your derision, I am hoping that gives you incentive to research your position.
