Dap-a-Dappa-Doo

I know that the anchors on FoxNews are "special," but this is even too much for them. One of their blonde fem-bots, E.D. Hill previewed a news bit on Obama greeting NC Governor Easley with a fist bump or "dap" describing the gesture as being a possible terrorist signal. It all happened during Obama's recent visit to Raleigh. After Governor Easley introduced him the two did the shaking hands/hugging thing and then Obama put his fist out for the well-known terrorist gesture—the dap.

Yes folks, you heard it on Fox first, NC Governor Mike Easley is a terrorist.

See more about it here from MSNBC's Morning Joe, including the clip of what Hill actually said on Fox.
Btw, Wikipedia defines the "dap" as a "form of handshake that became popularized in the white mainstream society in the 1960s originating among African Americans. The term dap may have been originated as an acronym for Dignity and Pride and was popularly used by African American soldiers during the Vietnam War even though as a tradition it has existed in the African-American community for centuries."
