Edited on Mon Dec-15-08 05:23 PM by Sugar Smack
a message than the "violence" commited here instead. Instead of hurling his shoes at "president" Bush, a strongly-worded document would have been much more "appropriate". It's "worked" so well in the past. I'm "very disappointed" in that young man; he should be "ashamed".
|
 I'm probably alone in this, but I find the shoe-throwing neither amusing nor laudable |
