If Only the Journalist Had Brought Along a Spare Pair

I couldn't not post this.

Not even a shoe hurled at his head at close range can knock that dumb perma-smirk off Bush's monkey face (no offence, monkeys). Well, he certainly couldn't have been drunk with that reaction time. But something that makes one more alert might explain things...(hee).

Surely you've heard about the incident Sunday where Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi did us all proud and whipped both of his shoes at Bush during a press conference in Iraq. Throwing one's shoe at a person is a sign of disrespect and wanting to hit someone in the face with your shoe.

It's the gift that keeps on giving. Or rather the gif. (I'm sorry, it wrote itself.) The guys that create these things have been busy, and these are my favourites of the lot. Try to not laugh. Look for them in your inbox and everyone's Facebook superwall. (If that's what it is now, I can't keep up with all their applications and I don't try to. This is my sharing place.)

Oh, and did you hear what Bush said about it afterward? I saw the clip and nearly fell off my chair. He said "I DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS BEEF WAS." Yeah, he probably just got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning...wanted to wear his favourite jeans but found them in the wash...his lottery numbers came up but he forgot to buy a ticket? UGH. Turd Sandwich or Giant Douche?
