Is it unpatriotic to laugh at our President almost getting hit in the face with a shoe?

[kentuck]

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??

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I laughed.

[wtmusic]

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

[wtmusic]

8. Just think about what's happening to the thrower right now

and it makes it a lot less funny.

[Pithlet]

23. Yeah, that's the only thing that keeps me from laughing about this.

I'm worried about what happens to him.

[Donnachaidh]

3. it's better than the drivel on most reality shows

Hell, we had more fun watching THAT than anything else today. :rofl:

[DebJ]

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.

[Ian David]

28. No. We need Bush intact to stand trial. n/t

[KG]

5. i'm laffing my ass off anyway!

[Jamastiene]

6. I think I've seen this before somewhere.

:popcorn:

[frogcycle]

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.

[DavidDvorkin]

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.

[Kahuna]

10. Truthfully, right or wrong, if the shoe had hit him, I'd be elated.

:shrug:

[kayakjohnny]

11. It's unpatriotic not to.

[kentuck]

12. Are you all ashamed of yourselves...?

I didn't think so. :-)

[Jamastiene]

33. Shame?

:spray:

I have no shame on a normal day.

Why would today be any different? :P

[ColbertWatcher]

13. I'd call you a traitor to your face if you didn't laugh so hard you peed after watching that.

[kentuck]

15. You would probably laugh if Dana Perino wears sunglasses at her next presser?

:-)

[ColbertWatcher]

19. I didn't see any women in that room.

So, yeah, I probably will.

[ColbertWatcher]

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!

[Libertyfirst]

24. Right on. n/t

[Lavender Brown]

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:

[kentuck]

16. I bet he shat himself...

:rofl:

[sellitman]

17. If you don't laugh........

you have no sole.



:shrug:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

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?

[undeterred]

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.

[Stinky The Clown]

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.

[no_hypocrisy]

25. Unpatriotic insofar as it makes you a citizen of the world.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

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.

[Ian David]

27. It is not unpatriotic to laugh at the man who deposed two of our rightful Presidents. n/t

[Edweird]

29. He's more than earned it, so no.

[RedCappedBandit]

30. I'd find it 10x more hilarious if the shoe hit him in the temple

[Skip Intro]

31. Depends on the president. nt

[fascisthunter]

32. Too Bad it was Just a Couple Shoes
