The fact that it was simply done as an expression of frustration and anger after all the death and destruction that Bush has created there - I think he got off pretty light. Great points Jerry.

After all we've put these poor people through I believe throwing a shoe showed a ton of class and restraint.

People on both sides of the political party aisle will twist and turn to support their partisan-hackery. I'm sure that same commenter would've had no issue cheering a reporter for throwing a shoe at, say, the president of Iran. Or, maybe he was just someone who worships politicians. You know that type is out there - someone who thinks we should treat these killers like royalty.. No doubt about it, Cliff.

Much as I had expected, Republicans swarmed me like locust.  How dare I not respect the President of the United States - "why he's the leader of our country". I reminded them that Hitler was swept into power in Germany with over 90% approval rating.  But at the end there were very few Germans that refused to cheer at his demise. They were remembering how and where he led the Nation.   That's what the majority of Americans think of Bush.  They remember where and how he led this Nation.
