It's Shoe Time!!

How about George freaking Junior, eh? During his final presss conference to the citizens of Iraq, he has a pair of Buster Browns whipped at his head. Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, halted the proceedings when he hurled two shoes at the outgoing Commander and Thief. Incidently, he missed with both attempts from point blank range. Bush's ineptitude even rubs off on would be assailants!

Admittedly, there was sensational value and some what of a comedic element to the big "shoe hurl". But not surprisingly, the bulk of the "coverage" was on the what and not on the why of what transpired. Though mainstream media was all too happy to broadcast images of the bizarre incident and the melee that ensued, little attention was given to what moved this person to risk life and limb in an outward act of aggression against the President of these here U-nited States in a room FULL of secret service suits! Al- Zaidi's outburst made it far too easy for State run television to depict him as just another one of those freakish, crazed, radical, A- rab sons-a-bitches!

For your consideration...

Al-Zaidi's words:
"this is a goodbye kiss, you dog.. This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq."

Although the shoes may have missed their mark, the words hit home, regardless of whether or not they were reported on in the US. Hit home that is except for the intended target, George W B who quipped afterwards, "all I can report is, it is a size 10". Not only does he not get it, he comes off as an arrogant, horse's ass right to the end and it will take this nation a long time to live down the policies carried out under #43.

Christmas is coming... 1/20/09!
