He ducked like he'd done it before. Laura??

But if the shoe had hit him right between the eyes, would you still laugh? Only harder? Is this patriotic to cheer folks that are not appreciative that Dubya rescued them from Saddam Hussein?
Poor George, he can't go anywhere anymore. Doesn't that make you sad? How can he be a good ambassador for our country if some folks cheer loudly when he almost gets hit in the head with a size 10 Brogan?? You probably think it's funny, don't you??

2. It's ok to laugh if there's no serious injury. It's slapstick. nt

8. Just think about what's happening to the thrower right now
and it makes it a lot less funny.

23. Yeah, that's the only thing that keeps me from laughing about this.
I'm worried about what happens to him.

4. A broken nose and two black eyes would have been a nice
Christmas deco over the fire place. Oh, that is so terrible. But not as bad as a week in Gitmo.

7. it is unpatriotic to have that person still occupying the WH
I would accept your premise for most others - Reagan, Bush Sr., even Nixon. But not this one. This one should have been hit between the eyes. I would not have laughed; I'd have cheered.

9. It is patriotic to laugh at that slimeball
It's unpatriotic to treat him with any kind of respect or deference.

And he's not my president.

I have no shame on a normal day.

Why would today be any different? :P

21. Oh, and don't forget, if her "black eye" does show ...
... she needs to fire her makeup person, or TAKE A FUCKING DAY OFF!

14. In the clip, Bush looks like he's laughing at it himself
He always did find the whole war thing funny... remember that *hilarious* skit about looking for the lost WMDs? :eyes:

18. I yelled "YES!!!!!!!!"
And then I wept because they BOTH missed, and the guy only had two shoes.

Wouldn't it have been fabulous if someone else in that group had then thrown his shoes at Fuckface? And then another guy, and another, and other?

Fuckface diving under the lectern amid a barrage of shoes, all aimed at his fucking head.

Ah, well, a Tangerine can dream, can't she?

20. The sad thing is that he still doesn't get the message.
It would be insulting if it happened to Obama or Clinton or even Poppy. But the chimp is so dense he doesn't even have a clue that people all over the world hate him as a direct result of his policies. They don't hate him because he's American. They hate him because he's a ruthless murderer who has never been held accountable.

22. I chuckled
When I heard Perino got a black eye from a microphone, I laughed.

If he had been hit by the shoe, I;d have done the happy dance.

If he had gotten the black eye, I'd be consumed with breathless laughing and tears and snot running down my face.

26. "Our President"?
Fuck that! He might be your president but he certainly is NOT mine.
I hope folks continue to throw things at that pile of steaming dog shit on the sidewalk for as long as he continues to darken this earth with his contemptible shadow. Hand grenades would be better than shoes though.
