1. I can't stop laughing
This is so much more effective at showing contempt than just giving someone the finger.

10. Ah, would that he had connected!

Purpose built for KO and SNL. I think the idea of leaving one shoe outside the White House as a parting gift to Bunnypants is an excellent idea. Perhaps there's a way to leave a shoe on Whitehouse.gov?

20. I would guess that it's because it slows things down for visitors...
...even if DU servers or bandwith isn't affected.


There are some *big* animated gifs out there.

24. Yes
I took it down from my sig. It was only 60 kb. If I made it any smaller, it would have looked goofy.

12. Keep in mind, folks, both are too large for siglines
Sadly.

:thumbsup: to ColbertWatcher for his hard work, though!

17. It's the story of Bush's life. Barely escaping consequences.
Meanwhile, I can't put something together. This man with total eye/body coordination can't eat a pretzel? Can't say nuclear? Is so stupid that he'd actually show up in Iraq?

18. Beautiful.
That action sums up perfectly my feelings for the man.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

25. Did he react before the shoe left the hand?
Looks it to me. Or about the same time. Either situation gave him more than enough time to dodge this ball. He was alert for the first question or hand to be raised, and he saw it was more than a hand being raised.

26. That is fucking hilarious
Smirky is a such an asshole and he deserved to have everybody in the room throw their shoes at him.

32. He does seem to enjoy it.
