Shoe Fly, Shoe!

A message to George: Go Away!

So just when I thought it couldn't get any funnier...Looks like Dubaya can add shoe ducking to his extensive resume. It was 'Boots Over Baghdad' for Bush when a reporter took dead aim and hurled his size 10 fury at the president during a press conference this past weekend. Apparently this gesture is the Iraqi equivalent to someone walking up and taking a piss on your Momma's front porch stateside...then resting to have a smoke and a glass of your lemonade.

Honestly, I can't say that I wouldn't be tempted to throw my own Anne Klein stiletto if I was merely 12 ft. away from the man who is responsible for so much (inter)national suffering still taking place. Anyone else notice the shoe only hit the American flag sandwiched between the other two? Whoa. Well, at least his reflexes are good. Can you imagine someone like McCain trying to sidestep a shoe coming at him at light speed? He would have been laid out. And thus- the end of one Administration and the beginning of a new one, thank goodness. To me, Bush and his daddy will always be the ones who publicly blew chunks after sushi and had to dodge shoes like it was open season. Who said politics can't be humorous?

I'd love to laugh, but word out today is that man has been beaten and tortured, and will receive 15 years for his act of rebellion. This, of course, is what W calls "democracy."

God willing, we survive the damage he has done. It's a sketchy bet, at best.

The best to you and this blog--
