As I read the reports of a reporter throwing a shoe, then another at GW Bush I couldn’t help but laugh and think how lucky he was that was the only thing that was thrown at him. It got me thinking about earlier times when presidents and all sorts of elected officials often faced barrages of rotten fruit & vegetables. A sort of semi-civilized way for the common person to register their dissatisfaction with a person of power. Rarely was there a more serious altercation but on some occasions a punch might be thrown as well.
I wonder, just a bit out loud, if JW Bush is really so foolish as to think that now that he is leaving office, it will all be forgive and forget? Surely this poorly informed, former drunk can’t be so foolish as to think the world will ever forgive him for hatching one of the more useless wars we have engaged in, nor are they likely to forget that when the countries economy was entering dire straits, he was trying to save his reputation, but in the end just stumbled once again with the every worsening housing crises.
Most of all, I hope that congress will reduce his funding for a presidential library to something more fitting like a broken down book mobile stocked with books about goats and other more fitting figures for a man that shows as much compassion toward the common man as … well, I honestly can’t think of anything bad enough to compare.
Perhaps it was a fitting gesture to toss heals at a heal, but “W” better watch his step; if this is a fitting tribute he might have a harder time dodging that flying jackass that will certainly be coming his way!
