Reply #6: New Meaning of "If The Shoe Fits"...

[KharmaTrain]

Yep, Letterman has been on a roll lately...I can't wait for his final "Great Moments" bit...but with mixed emotions. No doubt I will be pissed about all the crap "his assholiness" brought over the past years, what an embarassment he always was and will be...but mixed with the knowledge this scumbag is gone and his party in tatters.

When I first saw the shoes thrown, I caught the irony and relationship to the Arab insult and expected both boooshie and our "beloved" corporate media to miss the point...and they sure did. This wasn't like someone tossing a tomato at the presidential equivelent of Fozzie Bear...but a symbol of the hate and frustration of those who were supposed to great us with "hearts and flowers".

I don't think this guy will face the ultimate fate for his protest...if anything, he's now a national hero, not only in Iraq, but throughout the world. His moment will stand in my mind along with the guy who stood up to the tanks in Beijing in 1989.

Cheers...
