First-Person Shoe-Ter?


Okay, okay -- so I copped this off of Best Week Ever. And it is much more serious when you replace the animated cat with the pair of shoes that was actually lobbed at the Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Ass On Your Way Out President of the United States of America. But I just had to share.

I've also stolen NYC comedian/producer/show host/blogger Jon Friedman's comments on the ordeal (which I am having quite the giggle over):

Questions That I Have for the Secret Service
(Jon Friedman, 23/6)

1. Shouldn't you have jumped in front of that shoe?
2. Shouldn't you have jumped in front of that second shoe?
3. Second shoe = the one thrown after being removed from foot after first shoe was thrown.
4. Let's say people had three feet. Would you have allowed a third shoe to fly unimpeded?
5. While the shoe was in the air, were you like, "Oh, its just a shoe."
6. Same question about the second shoe.
7. Do you think this is funny, "Throw a shoe at me once, shame on--you. Throw a shoe--you throw a shoe, you can't throw a shoe again."
8. Is there not "protection training" for lunatics launching objects?
9. Let's say there isn't training for that--but do they tell you that if someone does throw (or shoot) something to be on the alert in case they want to repeat this behavior?
10. Where were you?

BONUS QUESTION: Do you think the Iraqis want us there? (Hint: their journalists are throwing their shoes at Bush)
