Media Befuddled By Fist Bump

  • Posted by: Andrew Price
  • on June 10, 2008 at 4:45 pm

As the Huffington Post reports:

The media has a new fixation, and it’s Obama’s fist bump, or dap, or pound, or whatever you choose to call the handshake he and his wife Michelle exchanged right before his speech claiming the Democratic presidential nomination.

This video compilation of media reactions to the bump is hysterical/discouraging. Fox News host E.D. Hill asked if the gesture was a “fist bump” or a “terrorist fist jab.” Incredible. Next maybe Fox News can look into that thing all the baseball players are doing: “high five” or “fascist slapping of raised palms?”
