| 31. The guy was clearly angry and emotional and I don't find it funny either. |

Not so much because he did it to Bush but because of what I imagine is happening to the man as we speak. On Stephanie Miller today some dumbass freeper called in to claim that the reporter throwing his shoes was a sign of "progress" because no one would have dared do that to Saddam. Uh, wrong. I seriously doubt he's going to fare any better at the hand's of the Bush's puppet government. Furthermore, if that's a sign of "freedom" in Iraq then we don't have any here. Just think about how the Secret Service would deal with you or me if we lobbed footwear at the POTUS here in the States. I was at the DNC in Denver as part of the AZ delegation. We had nosebleed seats that just happened to be right in front of where the Bidens and the Obama family were sitting. Someone tried to hand a t-shirt up to Michelle Obama's mom in the balcony. The agents put the kibosh on that. That's how hyper-cautious they are.
This incident with the shoes worries me because I fear others will get ideas from it and people are going to get killed. It's not funny at all and I wish people would stop joking about it and the MSM would stop covering it so much.
