Throwing shoes at Blow Up Bush in DC during Inauguration
We were driving to go to our first party in DC last night at The Daily Voice when Beth noticed people throwing shoes at this big blow doll of George Bush. I tried to nab it. Will shoes ever have the same meaning again?
Jane, Marcy, Beth and myself all comment...
Just a little Inauguration fun...
UPDATE: via Wired via Marcy:
Last night, Bush also got a sendoff from activists inspired by Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi, who was detained last month after flinging his shoes at Bush during a press conference in Baghdad’s Green Zone. On Dupont Circle, a crowd gathered to chuck shoes at an inflatable Bush dummy (pictured here); down on Pennsylvania Avenue, reports Jim Wolf of Reuters, a coalition called ShoeBush.org tossed footwear between Inaugural parade reviewing stands.

Was it sexually compatible like the blow up sarah palin doll?

My son sent me a text msg that Sen. Ted Kennedy has been taken to a hospital by ambulance.
Does anyone know what is happening?
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
Was at a bar with Fux on. Of course, no mention. Let's hope for the best.

Seizures are a common ailment for people suffering from brain tumors.
Check the previous post here at C&L. The reports on his condition appear to be more positive now. He had a seizure during the luncheon today.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
see or hear George W Bush again, it will be too soon.
Unless it is in the docket at the Hague.
Just read on another thread that a senator collapsed.
What a great day of redemption.
This isn't meant to be sexist in any way, but to have a car full of gorgeous women on your way to party, you are the man. As a married man, I may have to live vicariously through you.
Never in my lifetime, and probably not yours either, has an outgoing president been subjected to such wide-spread contempt, not only in the US but apparently around the world! Though there are more celebrations of Obama's inauguration than there are "ceremonies of mockery" for GW, it still amazes me that Bush did so badly as president that people feel utterly justified in expressing their derision.
...mass murdering monster. He deserves a middle ages style, slow and torturous execution.
quick but painful), but if a rack is more appropriate, so be it.
(I sense moderation coming, sorry...)

set chiefly in nazi Germany.
It included a clip of Hitler.
Overall, I'd say shrub inflicted more harm on the U.S. than Hitler did. Different, but more.

He lost his bid for a second term. Had he actually won a second term; he would of been just as hated as his son. They are both the scum of the Earth.
Her abject outer ugliness is no match for the decayed, maggot infested soul this succubus(Bush I couldn't have fucked her willingly) posesses.
You must have friends in low places [if you think she's a succubus of ANY kind]. Babsie has a beautiful mind, said so herself. What more could you want?
Nancy Reagan called him a wimp, I believe.
Farewell to the FUHRER!
See what I mean?
Outgoing President George W. Bush was booed as he arrived at Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony today
It was cut from the aired MSNBC report, but in the YouTube link above, you can hear the boos. Sounds like Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann and at least one other commentator are talking, though Rachel only says, "This is not what I expected." I think Keith kept his thoughts to himself. Someone else said it was "bad form" and not appropriate.
There should be one of these with a big pile of shoes at every public park in America! Hell every front yard in America!
Hell, yes! And those shoes can make a point in other ways, too.
These Boots Were Made for Walkin'
Boy! Long time ago...
As the TV showed Bush leaving in the heliocopter I could hear the crowd singing.....
Na na na na
na na na na
hey hey hey
goodbye
And good riddance!

I've been singing "Goodbye" as done by Sparky and Rhonda Rucker all day. (I hope I did the link ok.. I usually just read and don't post). First few lines:
A wonderful day all around... I think I'll go buy a flag and hang it at my house. First time in years.
We have flown ours all day for the first time in a long time and felt proud to do it.

I don't want to through shows at Bush. Instead, one of my biggest (new) goals in life is outlive both Bush and Cheney, just long enough that that I can visit their graves...so that I can take a dump on each one.
Prosecute
Punish
The decorum due the pursuit of war crimes tribunals now demands gravitas.
In my view.
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
You are speaking for me, too.
Several years back we bought a five foot tall blow up bush doll that you could punch and it would bounce back up. Not long after we got it, hurricane Frances blew our house all to hell, followed by hurricane Jeane in just a couple of weeks. The next year, I believe it was, hurricane Wilma smacked up pretty bad. We decided the bush doll was bad luck, poked a hole in it and tossed it in the garbage. We haven't had another hurricane since.
As of today the terms "president" and "vice president" are no longer dirty words. Isn't that nice?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
The Obamas are out of the car and walking down Penn. Ave. I am literally holding my breath. I'm so afraid for them
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
on the days America was so prosperous we could afford to throw shoes
at the plastic image of a departing President (which better be recycled.)

Michael Moore has got some more footage of the shoe-throwing:
