This is so brilliant.
In the long history of shoe crime, attempted assassination with a shoe-throwing a stinking, worn loafer at Bush's head during an Iraqi new conference-came no closer to achieving it's desired effect.
But it did something much more prosaic and symbolic in making him duck and thus throughly humiliating him. A better and more athletic man would have simply batted it away. What was that a size 7 or something? I could see ducking for my size 16s.
What-a-total-wuss.
This has given me a great idea.
To show our collective contempt for the last 8-years, we should all mail our old, stinking LEFT shoes to W at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by January 19th.
I suppose they will be requiring the press corp to remove their shoes before new conferences now. I can't imagine how stinky that will be in Washington much less than Iraq. At least the foul odor in the room will match the stinking lies coming out of his mouth.
