It’s official. I have MSNBC on (duh) and even they can’t spin it this morning. The best try came from Andrea Mitchell who declared that Obama did not curtsy, as she has seen Margaret Thatcher do.

Robert Gibbs is the last man standing on this one.

For the record: I don’t think much of anyone would be talking about this now if the White House didn’t decide to make it more of a story by preposterously denying what we can all see with our own eyes.
