All of you celebrating the shoe thrower should be ashamed of yourselves.

[sniffa]

Shame on each and every one of you.

[Midlodemocrat]

Bite me, freeper.

I only wish he hadn't missed.

[sniffa]

6. Shame on you

Did you notice my avatar?

[Midlodemocrat]

7. How could I miss it?

:rofl:

Dude, seriously. You NEVER disappoint.

How's wifey?

[sniffa]

10. She's good. She just came home today.

:bounce:

:woohoo:

I missed her.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. I'll bet. I don't even want to THINK about the condition of your

toilet with her gone.


:hide:

[SOteric]

26. Your only regret, I'm sure,

is that you didn't get the chance to take off one of your flip flops and slap him upside the head with it.

[Midlodemocrat]

27. I would NEVER defile my Tevas in that manner, SO.

:rofl:


:hi:

[SOteric]

31. I'll loan you mine.

Heck I could sell an authenticated Bush-slapping flip flop on E-bay for a sufficient fortune to be unconcerned about my dismal job situation.

[redqueen]

1. What?

It was funny!

[MrCoffee]

2. Eat shoe, hoser.

[mcctatas]

3. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways...

I am ashamed of myself for celebrating that Iraqi journo's shitageous aim! :evilgrin:

[Aristus]

4. Bush should be ashamed of himself; but of course, he isn't.

I just wish the guy had connected. It would have been even funnier if the Shrub had had to sport a shoe print on his ugly mug for a few days.

[Kali]

44. ...

[flvegan]

5. Shoe thrower? What shoe thrower?

No idea what you people are talking about.

[sniffa]

8. BTW

The American people have elected Barack Obama as President of the US of F'n A.

Pass the word along to the cave people. :eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

9. I don't think that will hold up in court. He wasn't born here, you know.

[sniffa]

11. Wasn't he born in the Panama Canal Zone?

:shrug:

[Midlodemocrat]

15. Kenya. And, even worse, his middle name is Hussein AND

he's Muslim. We Are Doomed.

[FloridaJudy]

39. And he's going to take away all our guns

And force us to marry people of our own gender!

I can get behind that last part: I could use some help around the house. But with my luck I'd get a woman as neatness-challenged as I am.

And I'm afraid Rachel Maddow is already taken. Too bad. Even I find her attractive, and I'm hopelessly straight.

[redqueen]

14. Gaaaaaaah...

my daughters' classmates are saying that kinda crap.

I live in freeptardland. :cry:

[crimsonblue]

13. thank you.

I like being shameful. It is Shakespearean tragedy.

[ghostsofgiants]

16. Who throws a shoe? Honestly!

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Better question.

Who throws a shoe at such an enormous asshole and misses? :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

21. He didnb't miss, he was dead on target.

Bush just has catlike reflexes that no one had accounted for.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Probably from all the dishes Laura has flung at him over the years.

[crispini]

36. .

:spray:

[northernlights]

32. I wear my shame with pride

and he wasn't aiming at the asshole's enormous crapper. He was aiming at the asshole's tiny, brainless pinhead. And he damn near got it, both times. Impressive. Not his fault the asshole's had a lot of practice ducking flying shoes and things.

Seriously, though, it looks like this very heroic reporter has been visciously beaten for freely expressing his opinion and is now in a US prison. So much for * bringing freedom to Iraq.

[Bucky]

18. Is this another thread about the 1999 world cup?

The dude was happy. Let him celebrate in his own weird way!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

19. ...

"fuck you, you ugly fucking fuck."

[sniffa]

24. Bwa

You do know that this shoe incident was an elaborate propaganda stunt intended to rouse the GOP base.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Next thing I know, you will be telling me that Sarah Palin

isn't qualified to run for VP. Have you no shame? None at all? :eyes:

[Fire Walk With Me]

35. Nike. Just do it.

[Bucky]

20. It wasn't really a shoe (as this picture makes clear)

It's only shaped like a horseshoe. It was really a toilet seat.

I hope this clears things up for you.

[Bucky]

23. It was just a college prank. Not even a prank--more like a time killer

Look, I don't get it either, but you gotta learn to relax and let those goofy kids have some fun every once in while.

[trof]

25. shoe boppa shoe bop, shoe dope and shoeby do.

Shoe boom, shoe boom
Di yada da da, da da, da da, shoe boom, shoe boom.

[Chan790]

29. I applaud it...some context.

I'm lazy though so I copied my context from Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_tossing#In_the_Arab_world:_a_gesture_of_contempt

In the Arab world: a gesture of contempt

In the Arab world, shoe flinging is a gesture of extreme disrespect. <1> A notable occurrence of this gesture happened in Baghdad, Iraq in 2003. When U.S. forces pulled down a giant statue of Saddam Hussein during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, many Iraqi detractors of Hussein threw their shoes at the fallen statue.

This may be an ancient gesture from the Middle East; Psalms 60:8, speaking of some of the traditional enemies of Judah, says that Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe...." (KJV)

The shoe represents the lowest part of the body (the foot) and displaying or throwing a shoe at someone or something in Arab cultures denotes that the person or thing is "beneath them." Showing the bottom of one's feet or shoes (for example, putting one's feet up on a table or desk) in Arab cultures is considered an extreme insult. Examples include Iraqi citizens smacking torn-down posters of Saddam Hussein with their shoes, and the depiction of President of the United States George H. W. Bush on a tile mosaic of the floor of the Al-Rashid Hotel's lobby, forcing all visitors entering the hotel to walk on Bush's face to enter the hotel.

During President George W. Bush's surprise visit to Iraq in December 2008, an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes in Bush's face during a press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Kamel al-Maliki. The first shoe sailed by his right cheek and he had to duck to avoid the second one as it flew over his head. President Bush later told reporters that he did not feel the incident was a "big deal" and that it "did not represent the Iraqi media as a whole." <2>

Thus, I find it great that Iraqis are hurling shoes at members of the Bush family. Between the Presidunce and Daddy Bush, tell me that these asswipes don't deserve the Iraqi-on-the-street's contempt. In hubris, the Bushes have destroyed a nation and murdered its' people. If I were in his shoes, my sole regret would be that I have but two shoes to hurl at W.

[greenbriar]

30. yea

[Dukkha]

33. better luck next time

[Fire Walk With Me]

[jobycom]

43. Should I be ashamed of not being ashamed?

:shrug:

[Midlodemocrat]

45. Ooh, an oldie but a goodie.

:rofl:

[redqueen]

46. I thought this was so funny...

till I realized it was referring to serious threads where people were seriously saying this.

Le sigh.

[sniffa]
