Harper Demonstrates When It's OK To Bow

Like, for example, to these fellow Canadian Conservatives, who happen to be of Tamil heritage.  (Via the Canadian Tamil Conservative Association on Facebook)


They're on our side, unlike those with whom the Liberals were caught schmoozing, ie. LTTE-affiliated folks... 

Wonder if Obama will bow when he meets, on the other hand, a Tamil Tiger, like, y'know, ex-Liberal PM Paul Martin wined and dined with?  Doesn't Obama understand that one is only supposed to bow to GOOD people, not bad people?

Sentinel - that's not a bow. He was bending so the lady could put a garland around his neck. It's the custom among Hindus to garland someone they respect and love.

Actually, they're Tamils. I have no idea whether they're Hindu. Could be, of course.

You're right, that's not really a bow, whereas Obama's bending to the Saudi King certainly was.

Don't know whether that's a Hindu or a Tamil custom there, the garlanding....
