Krauthammer: Bush ‘took a shoe for the country.’»

During President Bush’s press conference earlier today, CBS News’ Jim Axelrod asked Bush if he had “any message” for his critics who, in the words of conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, have “Bush derangement syndrome.” Bush replied that he didn’t “know why they get angry.” Asked to comment on Bush’s response, Krauthammer praised Bush on Fox News today, saying that “he took a shoe for the country, a bullet for the country” by absorbing all of “the opprobrium and the abuse” over the war in Iraq.

1. Bwhahahaha!

Is that how they're rewriting this bit of history? I think he's earned all the shoe tossing all by his onesies, Charlie.

[gratuitous]

2. No he didn't, Charles

If the shoe had hit him, you could say that Bush took a shoe, though I can't say it was for the country. So you're kind of wrong on two counts there. And I suspect that you have a better idea than Chimpy does about why folks might be angry with Bush, so that makes three errors. Wow, that's a lot of wrong for so little commentary. Good thing you aren't paid for accuracy, huh?

3. I suppose he took a shoe for Katrina, too

Just a convenient target for a public who wanted somebody to take the fall.

5. Just go away take your view of history with you, that dog just doesn't hunt

6. Is Krauthammer capable of telling the truth?

I've never seen it included in his scrawlings, even accidentally. Swear to god he edits it to make sure it's 100% bullshit

7. Everytime I see that guy's name I can't help but to think of Richard Widmark in 'Kiss of Death'

8. He will soon take a cell for the country

There are a LOT of Europeans who want him locked up. when he's in prison the healing can begin in earnest.

10. Yeah, sure, he took a shoe -- repeatedly when he stuck his foot in his mouth.

And he needs to take another one for the country -- a jail sentence would be a good example, maybe life without possibility of parole.
