NBC anchor Brian Williams had an interview with President Bush in 2007 to discuss his “eclectic” reading habits. The conversation changed to leadership and his decisions being constantly analyzed by pundits and commentators. During the exchange Brian Williams pointed his finger at President Bush’s chest asking, “even if you’re frustrated that we’re getting something wrong?” in response to President Bush saying that a leader cannot allow the constant exposure to cause him to lose focus on fulfilling his job as a decision maker.
Much has been made about the recent photo of AZ Governor Jan Brewer pointing her finger at President Obama. Many in the media have considered it racist, disrespectful and “unprecedented.” It will be interesting to see if those same media commentators will have the same reaction to this gesture made by Brian Williams.

Personally, I find nothing wrong with Governor Brewer’s finger pointing. If she would have used the middle finger, then she should be called out. Really like this gal, AZ is lucky to have her.
Hmm. Is it sexist to call the gesture racist when a woman makes it…even though, from an elitist point of view, a governor ranks higher than a TV performer…or maybe it’s ageist? Is Governor Brewer older than the President, as most people active in politics still are? Which card should the whiners be trying to play here?
