Why are the RW assbuckets talking about W's 'amazing' shoe-ducking reflexes?

[Oeditpus Rex]

You'd have to be Helen Keller to have gotten hit by those things, yet the shoefucks are acting as if he's ready to climb back into a cockpit and take on every Iraqi journalist in a Thom McAn dogfight.

[Richardo]

1. I don't know - that guy had a wicked arm.

Accurate, too - those things went straight as a fastball.

[underpants]

9. Yeah but W still moves like he is in his 20's

he dodged those shoes like they were the draft

[madokie]

15. Age hasn't slowed my quickness any,

If it has I was one quick dude when I was a kid.

[benld74]

33. Those twernt moves, they were stumbles, well timed stumbles!!

[Richardo]

37. .

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Maybe that was the problem

Al-Zaidi's a right-hander and W was speechifyin' from the right.



He shoulda thrown a screwshoe so it'd break into him.

[Warpy]

2. His reflexes were actually good for an old drunk

but I imagine he's had ample experience dodging flying crockery at home.

[guitar man]

6. that's what I thought

It looked like he'd been there before, probably pissed Laura off more than once :rofl:

[BrklynLiberal]

3. It is the only positive thing they could say about him in years.

I do wonder, though, since he could not have known what the man was throwing, if he wet his pants.

[no limit]

4. because they are RW assbuckets. athletic ability is much more important

in leading the world's most powerful nation than actual brains are. They'd much rather have a beer with their commander in chief than to know what his foreign policy positions might be.

[CTyankee]

5. Maybe the White House staff made him practice ducking just in case.

Or maybe he just kinda expected a flying object would be sent his way. Lucky for him it wasn't a cream pie, but of course that would waste a perfectly good pie...

[htuttle]

7. Like many of his class, he has finely honed ducking and hiding reflexes

[mrdmk]

8. Because the media cannot tell the real story, which is

Our President was told to "get fucked" on an international broadcast.

[lpbk2713]

10. That's the best spin they can put on an incredibly humiliating incident.

It's a feeble effort on their part but Shit-for-Brains still comes off looking like a horse's ass.

As usual.

[TahitiNut]

11. It shows how much the opposing team pitchers liked him in his teen years.

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Yeah, well, no wonder

[Dangerously Amused]

14. Reflexes??? It's not like he didn't have any warning.

The guy started yelling at him before he threw the first shoe. Anybody could duck that.

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. I'm transfixed by that .gif

"Dog!" Shoom!

"Goat!" Fwwwwip!

"Monkey!" Zowww!

"Tiny-brained wiper of other people's bottoms!" Thoooop!



:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

20. I know, I could watch it for hours.

With a slight buzz, a lot of popcorn and a few clever Dem friends, it could make for an evening of comedy gold!

[louis-t]

23. Man, right over the mic. Pin-point accuracy.

He really did move out of the way quickly. A goalie knows the shot is coming, too.

[TahitiNut]

27. Indeed. Even a blind man could've ducked that roundhouse windup,

No big challenge. :shrug:

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Bush dodges everything that comes his way

What's so special about a pair of shoes?

[HillWilliam]

17. Well, first,

it was probably the only hour that day Chimpy was sober; something I'm sure he had thoroughly corrected not long after the second shoe landed. Second, something tells me that professional duck of his probably came from years of experience ducking high-heels chucked by Pickles. That Xanax wears off sooner or later and if it was me and I had to live with that ass, I'd be chucking more than shoes. Just sayin'.

[Vickers]

19. He ducked those shoes like they were made of responsibility!

:crazy:

[lpbk2713]

21. Just like it was NOLA right after Katrina.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[foxfeet]

22. If the Iraqi journalist had stuffed a rock up W's nose,

they'd be praising his nose-picking skills.

[SeattleVet]

24. He's had years of experience ducking pretty much everything thrown

to him by reporters, so this was no surprise.

Typical reaction from him, too - duck, spin, smirk. Repeat as necessary.

[Marr]

25. I think it's absolutely hilarious!

Imagine a party so demoralized, so rejected, that the only thing they can praise their leader for is his ability to (essentially) dodge the tomatoes being thrown at him when he speaks.

[radfringe]

26. bush has been training for ducking a long time

after all for at least the past 8 years he's been ducking questions, ducking resposibilitiy, ducking accoutability....

[carlyhippy]

28. I just watched George's comments about the incident after it occured

he was about halfway smirking about it. Shoe throwing in Iraq I guess is a real big insult according to the analyists

[SidDithers]

29. Obama would have caught it...

and fired it right back at the thrower :)

Sid

[Ilsa]

30. Right now, Obama only has kisses thrown his way. nt

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. While stepping on second for a double play

Score that 44 force (unassisted), 44-3 DP.



No runs, no hits, eight years of errors.

[malaise]

31. One word - obfuscation

The pseudo victory lap has been fucked up with a metaphor of a perfect full stop.
This iconic event is a shoe-in (pardon the pun) for every book and movie about Bush's legacy-his last trip to Baghdad. This is the end - this is what Iraqis think of him and the entire planet laughed hysterically yesterday and are still laughing all now.

Fuck you George - you not so goodie goodie two shoes!

[trusty elf]

34. "Bring 'em on!"

[EnviroBat]

35. I wish the guy had thrown a fragmentation shoe.

It explodes in to multiple shoes when it reaches it's intended target.

[ColbertWatcher]

36. Because they don't want to discuss WHY the guy threw the shoe.

38. What else do they have to praise?
