This is what the Shrub just effin said on ABC News about the shoe hurling

[rvablue]

Martha Radditz points out to him that in the Arab world this is a major insult.

This is some of what he said:


"I'm not insulted."

"The guy wanted to get on TV and he did. I don't know what his beef is."


I may not have gotten it all correct, but this is the essence.


What a complete disaster....only a few more weeks......thank God!

"personal gripe" = understatement

[rvablue]

[book_worm]

7. Fucking slimy republican pig is Bush, pretending that he's loved to his 26% - "effin" ?

Bush wants all to believe everyone approves of him....a beloved president only by the rich & the corporate pigs who can never get enough or steal enough of our tax dollars....That Bush has been more than willing to feed them.

[OwnedByFerrets]

9. OMG, that fucking pisses me off. "I dont know what his beef is"??

You fucking GOD DAMNED imbecile. Hell isnt hot enough or torturous enough for your motherfucking ass.:mad: :mad: :mad:

10. He also called it "weird" and "interesting." How could he not know what his "beef" is???

I can't WAIT 'til the new President Obama, who was AGAINST the invasion of Iraq, is in charge. What a relief it will be-to be proud of our govt. again!

[riverwalker]

11. I DON"T KNOW WHAT HIS BEEF IS ?!?!

Oh. my. God.

[DCBob]

12. I was talking with Palestinian friend of mine tonight and he said the shoe throwing...

is the most extreme insult to a politician in the Arab world. He suspects the guy will eventually become a hero in Iraq.

[jenmito]

14. Sadly, the guy will probably soon be dead thanks to our govt. n/t

[DCBob]

15. My Palestian friend predicted he will released once Bush is gone.

This form of insult to a politician is acceptable and not considered an act of violence or threat.

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Tomorrow I'm sending my old beat-up sneakers to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[Jennicut]

18. Every last citizen should send Bush some old smelly shoes

I would love to see them piled high at the WH. They will need to be moved after the Obamas move in of course.
