OK, normally I would be mad if the secret service let anyone attack the president, but sadly, and gladly, I will make an exception. If this journalist could have snuck a shoe full of dog doo doo in, he could have thrown a bomb, but instead, simply offered contempt to someone that rightly deserved it. Consider that the same journalist had been kidnapped and tortured earlier in the week.
I am sure Homeland security will tage this, just as Bush is trying his best to do as much damage as possible before he gets carted off the stage, to help try to get his brother in the office come 2012, but let me say this.
Muntazer al-Zaidi, aka the shoe thrower, thank you for doing what many of us throughout the world wish they could do. Believe it or not, many Americans also have contempt for Bush; as surely as he destroyed your country, he may very well be the death of ours. I salute you, and only regret that you did not tage him in his face. I am also glad you did NOt throw a grenade, because many of the GOp would make him a matryr, and hope the seecret service "slipped" while guarding our NEW president, Barack Hussein Obama!
Dubya, you did not even merit an assassin's bullet, just a shoe full of dog shit, thrown by a man who had nto recovered from torture. This is the image that the Bush presidency should be stamped with.

Still, I hope that they are not the last shoes to fly Bush's way; I just hope none of them harm his Secret Service agents.
