Russian newsreader Tatyana Limanova makes insulting gesture at Obama

A top Russian female newsreader has caused a stir after appearing to offensively show US President Barack Obama her middle finger during a live newscast.

pretty funny, wonder if Jon Stewart will try to get a yuk or two using it ?

In the footage, Tatyana Limanova, an award-winning senior newsreader at the channel, can be seen briskly reading out an item about how Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has just assumed the rotating chairmanship of the Asia Pacific Cooperation organisation.




She is then heard to say that the post "has (previously) been held by Barack Obama" before mechanically and unambiguously raising her left arm and showing the camera her raised middle finger in an offensive gesture that is sometimes known as "flipping the bird."

I don't think the middle finger in Russia and US have the same meaning...I recall hearing that it was a Pinky there...but who knows. regardless Putin is a major league A hole to borrow a phrase from a almost as bad leader.

what would you expect the station to say ?

article also says she is a top news reader (love that far more appropriate description) so I suspect she knows to look for the red lights not to mention knowing better to make such assumptions.

but does nothing to diminish the funny aspect.
