I am proud of President Bush

[we vs us]

The guy next to him was Iraqi PM Nuri al-Maliki.  He kind of half- heartedly tried to block the second shoe, but yeah, I think he knew they weren't for him.

Try to imagine what the guy would've been in for if he had thrown his shoes at Saddam.

Probably a piece in each mass grave.

The Bush Legacy: at least he wasn't Saddam Hussein.

Ouch. That'll leave a mark.

Meanwhile, 70 percent of the U.S. wants us to withdraw in 16 months, as wanted by Obama.

There is not one thing funny about this.

A threat to a U.S. President is a threat to the United States.  The man should do time behind bars.

Not even a teensy little bit funny?  Even just a little?

Admit it.  You chuckled.

Our president is the living embodiment of the U.S.  If they feel permission to attack him, they feel permission to attack our troops and other aspects of our nation.  Bush has disgraced the office but he is still our president until January 20, 2009 and an attack against him should be met with severe punishment.

Okay, so maybe you didn't chuckle.  I take that back.

I'd have laughed a bit if it had been Bill C.

I would like to see Bush stand before a judge to answer for violating our Constitution, for violating our international treaties, for waging a war of aggression.

But he will most likely drift into history protected by the respect we hold for the Presidency and the strength of the United States.

I wish Bush had gone into a back room with the attention-seeker and brow-beat him into coming back out into the conference to apologize.  Sort of like the Pope and his would-be assassin.  Bush is no JPII.

You been watching 'House of Saddam' on HBO?  A sympathetic portrait, humanizing.  I wish we had just given Saddam his own talk show, he would have settled for it.

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.

quote: CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian man said on Wednesday he was offering his 20-year-old daughter in marriage to Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush in Baghdad on Sunday.

The daughter, Amal Saad Gumaa, said she agreed with the idea. "This is something that would honor me. I would like to live in Iraq, especially if I were attached to this hero," she told Reuters by telephone.  

Her father, Saad Gumaa, said he had called Dergham, Zaidi's brother, to tell him of the offer. "I find nothing more valuable than my daughter to offer to him, and I am prepared to provide her with everything needed for marriage," he added.  

Zaidi's gesture has struck a chord across the Arab world, where President Bush is widely despised for invading Iraq in 2003 and for his support for Israel.  

Amal is a student in the media faculty at Minya University in central Egypt.  

Zaidi's response to the proposal was not immediately clear.
