Duck U Lame Phuck

While i'm sure every other W-disdaining blogger has posted this link, i've gotta add it here. We now know you are more likely to be completely mauled for throwing shoes at an elected official than you are if you smash a pie into their face. i guess this is because shoes are a terrorist weapon, whereas pies are merely wasted calories? Maybe it was the camera angle, but it looked to me like W was actually kind of smiling as he ducked. "I don't know what his cause is.... this is what happens in free societies." That W cannot imagine why someone would do something that, in arab culture, is incredibly insulting, illustrates how totally clueless he is about why people are angry at him. i hope when he gets home from this trip, he'll have a night off to watch Frost/Nixon and think about what it means when a president doesn't take responsibility for any of his actions.

it's something to do with history happening first as tragedy, then as farce, don't you think?

kennedy and lincoln get shot, W gets shoed.
