I want you to go to your room and think about what you’ve done…
I always thought Bush was a dodgy man.
Why, what do you expect? He swore an oath, after all. Anything else would be high treason and ought to get him executed like the other guy.
Right. It would be treason to say trash the White House offices and pry the Os off the computer keyboards.
You win this and every other thread on the subject.
My first reaction was “Hey - George knows the five D’s!”
Kind of silly, but what I think of every time I see this thread title is “How do you throw a shoe at a network share?”
(At my office, the w:\ drive is a network disk space where various teams and departments can put up commonly used files.)
…and now the Democrats are going to show how better Obama is a dodgin’ shoes.
Quick reflexes for a lame duck and he kept his cool.
I see a video-game now…
I suspect that Democrats would prefer that Obama demonstrate the ability not to create situations that make people want to throw shoes at him, but there’s only so much one man can do.
Much as I think the Bush administration (and especially Rumsfeld) screwed up Iraq by failing to base their post-conquest plans on anything approaching reality, I don’t think one pissed-off guy throwing shoes is likely to affect Bush or his ratings one way or the other.
At least we know that there is nothing that the press can throw at Bush that he can’t dodge!
What a lame duck.
Ah yes, just another perfectly ordinary U.S.-instigated spontaneous political event.
Sadly, many other countries stubbornly fail to acknowledge that political activity instigated by the U.S. is still completely spontaneous. This frustrating cultural barrier can be a serious detriment to public perception of America in the Middle East. And Latin America, for that matter.
It’s not just you; I thought it was hilarious.
I would never say something like “where’s Richard Reid when you need him,” but someone might.
Heh heh heh… even money that Jon Stewart uses that one tonight.
I have to say that as much as I loathe Bush and the air around him, this could have happened to anybody. If the closest Obama comes to assassination during his term(s) is a hurled shoe I’ll be very happy.
Does anybody know the name of the journalist (bald and seems kind of tall) who was “first responder” in blocking the throws? That guy had guts- for all he knew the guy may have thrown the shoe as a distraction while drawing a gun or a sharp or blunt object of some sort.
And why in hell were the Secret Service separated from the president by a door? Reminds me of Lincoln’s body guard going next door for a drink during OUR AMERICAN COUSIN. Hopefully they’ll be a tad more conscientious with Obama.
Perhaps if you’d be so good as to strip away what I assume is sarcasm, some meaning might surface. I’m unsure what your point is. Of course, I’m assuming it’s relevant, and that could be a mistake on my part.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It was an entirely spontaneous remark, though it was directly prompted by your earlier post. Most of my spontaneous actions are instigated by other people. They generally occur at midnight, on the ocean.
Not only that, radio lavender is not caliphate acquired nutritious foodstuffs! Oceans, indeed! More like a moist towelette.
That’s my signal!
Crap! I can’t find my lucky brown socks!
I can’t go out on a mission without my lucky brown socks!
Sorry guys, we’re gonna have to scrub it.
I got him on the first and third tries.
It’s the lack of higher brain functions getting in the way.
Where’s Putin when you need him?
