6. Shoes are the perfect metaphor

for the eight year 'reign of error'.

To think he even has us taking ours off before we board an aircraft. Shoooooooooooo you king of clusterfucks!! Shoooooooooooo!!

Lovely post.

[Gregorian]

7. You took the words right out of my mouth. Yes.

This is so fitting.

There is no IF. These shoes fit.

8. Indeed

I told hubby not to buy me a Christmas present. This was it. :rofl:

30. "reign of error"?

I think not as bush knew what he was doing and knew it was wrong. It was a reign of terror. Although I don't condone what osama did by any means, but el pResidente, you have ratified, confirmed, and glorified osama's cause by your terroristic actions exemplified by your policies even against your own countrymen. All those talks you claimed to be with God we know are false bs from you as God would never have condoned your evil ways and acts. You can't believe in God or you wouldn't be doing this stuff. I do believe in God, not to debate my beliefs here, and I know where you belong. Damn you and your ilk to hell. Some democrats like pelosi can forgive and forget. What am I saying? It should be condone and are compliceit, but it changes not the wrongs even against the very God many of you in government say you talk to and believe in and I contend that one need not be religious to know of your wrongs. We all sin, but you make hell proud.
Sorry for mini-rant, but I had to get it off of my chest.

I hope it wakes up some of those here who think we're all being too mean to *. The man's a monster, and I'm glad he was humiliated publicly during another of his pretend hero bullshit sessions.

22. great work, thanks!

[balantz]

23. Great Post!

An idea pops up from your wonderful post. A campaign should be started to collect as many truck-loads of shoes as possible and converge on the White House, or somewhere signifigant, and dump them all with thousands of people shouting for the criminals to be brought to justice. The message from that one shoe thrown at shrubbie, and from all the shoes of the thousands of dead, can be carried forth into a great and mighty voice.

[caraher]

43. I was thinking the same thing

I've got some shoes ready to go...

[BayjanDem]

24. Shoes were a major story today

one way or another.

29. I sure hope people start throwing shoes on the White House Lawn

in solidarity with fellow sufferers of this murderous regime's treatment.

Bush and his people have royally screwed us all!

32. Drop a pair in the mail today.

George W Bush

31. let's do this. One shoe to Bush; one to Obama, to make sure he doesn't lose focus.

[peacetalksforall]

33. I read through this thread thinking Cheney is getting another ride. He's the real

President and all the focus is on Bush. Why not one to Bush and the other to Cheney? I'm sure Obama can get the picture.

For all practical purposes, keep the shoes together and make them available to some homeless and for shipping to Zimbabwe.

Sorry to sound so stern. I get so sick of Cheney hiding in his bunker plotting while they send his marionette off to 'make face' for him. My resentment is that he, Cheney, never gets the attention and George never comes down from his arrogant perch.

I have no excuse for Bush and I'm not excusing him. I just want to see a shift of disrespect for the person who has steered us down this road on behalf of the barons who are 'third worlding' us. Why not send a pile of shoes to the think tanks who figured out how to carry out all the plans for our downfall on behlaf of Cheney AND the barons. While our money was taken to pay for the salaries of the think tankers?

Wow, I woke up bitter today. Sorry to rant at you.

[snot]

51. Not at all; in fact, thanks, 'cuz I couldn't agree more.

Bush's capacity as evildoer would be trivial without the Cheneys&Roves of the world.

[ProSense]

34. Yeah, but some people are outraged that Bush got a pair thrown at him.

Thanks for this sobering post.

[Wizard777]

46. I have an idea for a welcome home for Bush involving those shoes.

35. Hey Chimp!!

If the shoe fits, wear it motherfucker!!

44. Yes, I wish I had seen that.

Thanks. I also intended to include this one, but left it out inadvertently.

39. Thanks for posting this reminder.

We saw that display of civilian shoes and combat boots when it was in Central Park; one of the most moving things I've ever seen in my life.

[janet118]

40. New video game?

Chasing Bush through the White House, National Parks, Iraq, New Orleans, etc. to throw a shoe at him. I'd buy it.

[Fire1]

41. This is just freakin' sad. Just sad.

45. Hissy, you've once again made me cry......

and think, and mourn what that ignorant asshole who's occupied the White House for 8 illegal years has done to us, to our country, and to the world.

Is there a defense fund set up for reporter al-Zaidi yet? If anyone knows, please post - I'll forego my next month's worth of Alaskan Amber to contribute!

[davekriss]

47. kick and would recommend...

...if we weren't beyond the 24 hour "recommendation" time horizon.

49. The Rude Pundit suggests

Send the White House your shoes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12/15/2008
Because We Won't Have Him to Kick Around Much Longer, Part 2 (Featuring Shoes and a Fun and Easy Real Protest Idea):
This morning, the Rude Pundit decided to honor the efforts of Muntader al-Zaidi, the Iraqi shoe-tosser, by taking out a raggedy old pair of sneakers, putting them in a Priority Mail shipping box, helpfully provided by the United States Post Office, and shipping them to President George W. Bush at the White House. He included a note that read, "This is a farewell kiss from the American people, you dog."

Since throwing objects at the president is generally considered a crime, the Rude Pundit figures sending shoes to Bush is a small, good thing, a gesture of contempt that has context. Sweet Christ, at this point, there should be giant sacks of shoes heading to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC, 20500, like letters to Santa.

The Rude Pundit is not going to hide his fucking glee at the incident. He's not going to "respect the office" or some such shit because Bush doesn't respect it, so fuck him - take a fuckin' shoe in the face - it'll probably be the only punishment our criminal president ever faces in his lifetime. All over America right now, millions of people are thinking the same thing: "About. Fucking. Time." Hell, when you watch the video, you see that the Secret Service barely cares. And you also see Bush smirk, as if thinking, "It's better than the plates Laura flings when she finds my whiskey."

And what's sweeter is that it's the only thing anyone's gonna remember about W's smug little "victory" lap he was trying to take in Iraq and Afghanistan, a trip that was like a rapist trying to get the semen stains out of the carpet before the DNA is found. Instead, the whole thing descended (or ascended, depending on your point of view) into farce, like a smug opera singer ripping a fart while hitting a high note. It was gratifying, no less than he deserved.

That sad part is how much he doesn't fucking care. Nothing he does is ever wrong, nothing jars him, as if there's so much Lithium in his veins that anything that might be called emotion has been drained out. He wants to be acquitted by history, by those who will analyze what he did to explain what the fuck happened, but he refuses to ever look back. In an interview with ABC News, when Bush was saying, "One of the major theaters against al Qaeda turns out to have been Iraq. This is where al Qaeda said they were going to take their stand," he was challenged by Martha Raddatz with the fact that al-Qaeda wasn't in Iraq until after the United States invaded. Bush responded, "Yeah, that's right. So what?"

Someone should be there every day of Bush's life to throw shoes at him. Hell, someone should market a fuckin' game that includes a Bush face mounted with velcro with tiny shoes that'll stick to his puss.

Oh, sweet Muntader, you who is probably hanging hooded in a basement with electrodes on your nipples and nuts right now while the vast majority of your country celebrates your leather-soled middle finger to the nation that occupies it, all over America, people are smiling and nodding. Maybe that we should come up with other things that should be hurled at the President because that motherfucking monkey has slung his shit at us for eight years.

Like, say, golf balls, birthday cake, your 401K, your sick child, clean coal, or Donald Rumsfeld.
