BUSH AVOIDS IRAQI TRAPS
At a news conference in Baghdad Iraq, an irate Iraqi journalist stood up and threw both his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush, who easily ducked the flying shoes. Bush being his usually humorous self said “I easily avoided both those traps” The Iraqi journalists who were stumped by the President’s response, asked “what do you mean when you say traps? Do you think there was a plot to injure you?” Bush responded “heck no, not unless the New York Times was involved. Lighten up, you know, traps if his feet smelled like skunks then his shoes were traps.” After the reporters gave an embarrassed laugh and muttered a few words in Iraqi, Bush when on, “so what do you call his socks?” After the reporters gave each other bewildered looks, Bush said BAIT, and broke out in a snicker.

BUSH CHALLENGES IRAQI SHOE THROWER TO A CONTEST
President Bush tried to remain calm and treat the Iraqi reporter shoe throwing incident as a joke, but after being constantly badgered by other Iraqi reporters, he had had enough. The final straw came when a reporter mentioned that in the Iraqi culture throwing your shoes at someone is a serious insult. The President finally angrily fired back ,”well next time tell him to bring his wife’s shoes, if he wants to do some shoe throwing, we’ll toss some hoe shoes, have a nice hoe shoe game. Now down in Texas that’s what they call an insult.”

ROFLMAO – should this be a contest at this point? Perhaps a pair of shoelaces to the winner of the pun? LOL

I can’t take credit for this but I remembered it from when Bush was the target,
“do you have these in a size 9″.

Personally I think the guy was a Shoe ite.

I don’t have much time to wag my tongue on this subject so I’ll step aside until I am able to get a usable toe hold in my schedule.

In the long arch of history, the shoe thrower has found a toe hold on infamy. Although no longer the sole perpetrator, his tongue lashing diatribe laced with hateful words for Bush caused a rift that refuses to heel to this day. Leather or not we agree with him, we can concede that he is a man of action and no loafer. Still, he failed to per suede many who are still afoot.

I was loafing around the house today putting up Christmas lights and missed the onset of this thread and must therefor tread carefully or risk stumbling down the path previously punned. I just wish I could have got my foot in the door at that “press conference” but they might have tripped me up at security for trying to tip-toe past the guards with a bag full of golf shoes, baseball spikes, and an autographed basketball shoe from Shaquille O’Neal.

One other thought on the subject of shoe throwing: If heads of state were given the shoe throwing tactic as a means of legitimate public debate, I might start to care about them a little more. I would even start supporting the idea of our inclusion in the UN. Can you imagine Nolan Ryan throwing shoes at Iranians? I’d pay to see that. Guys like Doug Williams, Randy Johnson, John Elway, Goose Gossage, and the Mannings, could become Senators. On the international stage, Cuba and Venezuela would not be sad jokes anymore but we could actually count on the Japanese and Koreans for some real help once in a while. The concept reminds me of a PJ O’Rourke essay in which he traveled the world’s most active sites of civil unrest and evaluated the throwing skills of the protesters. Panama came out on top of that contest because of their baseball skills as compared to Intifada-armed Palestinians that threw like girls.

Speaking of limp arms, I realize that the idea won’t fly because our current President throws like his youngest daughter. Only three years until we get to give him the boot.

Careful now guys! I’m already getting lectured on my Tiger Woods post for being too tabloidy and unserious!

“You stole my technique.”

That sole, corny comment from the wingtip-oops-nut former reporter was laced with a stinky bitterness that will never heel. Wonder who would have foot the bill had this calloused ankle-biter actually socked him.

You people need to put a sock in it! This is a serious matter….shoe-throwing is not the answer to heeling the world. It only leads to more sandalous-less outrage!
