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)

Thandie Newton as Sarah Palin

We all knew that Ricky Gervais was funny. But Thandie Newton? Have just recently seen W. by Oliver Stone, one of my favorite characters from the film was Ms. Newton's portrayal of Condoleezza Rice. Her mannerisms and speech were dead-on. I still get chills up my spine thinking about that role, watching her move around the room like a possessed Praying Mantis.

The above clip is from The Graham Norton Show on the BBC. Ms. Newton and Mr. Gervais have a good laugh reading a script from an "already" made adult film (aka as a porno) called Naylin Paylin. I couldn't make this stuff up.

Enjoy. I can't wait for Ms. Newton's impersonation of Cindy McCain.

The actual script reading doesn't start til the 1:45 mark, but the opening bit is Ricky Gervais at his best.
