Desparately trying to find some key quotations from Bush regarding the two shoes, I bump into an excerpt from RushLimbaugh.com, which goes:<\/p>\n
What people don’t know is Bush<\/strong> told the secret service, get away, you saw what happened, some loco weed threw a shoe<\/strong>. It was Bush<\/strong> who kept that room under …<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n Good Lard.\u00c2\u00a0 Some matters of logistics are found hereabouts<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 But roll down in the comments and you’ll find a commenter being outraged that the man had the time to throw that second shoe, and the effect of sedate reacting wears out.<\/p>\n Anyway, your home for Bush-Shoe Throw News is Spencer Ackerman at the Washington Independent<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 He has you covered.\u00c2\u00a0 Eventually he is going to have to tag these pages under a category of “Shoe”, though.<\/p>\n Actually it’s not your place for Bush Shoe Throwing Action.\u00c2\u00a0 My mistake… it’s not supplying me with my needed sources of known information.\u00c2\u00a0 Such as:<\/p>\n Bush, who was unhurt when the Iraqi TV journalist Muntader al-Zaidi hurled two shoes at him during a joint press conference with Premier Nuri Kamal al-Maliki on Sunday, downplayed the significance of the incident saying he did not think “you can take one guy throwing shoes and say this represents a broad movement in Iraq. You can try to do that if you want but I don’t think that would be accurate.”<\/em><\/p>\n This is some sort of myopia.\u00c2\u00a0 A different version for the phrase “broad movement” is found about here<\/a>, and more poetically surveyed in a succient manner\u00c2\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 For the sake of argument I won’t even tackle the matter of level of “breadth” or “broad”ness, and all that.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n But this is still not quite what I’m looking for.\u00c2\u00a0 The quote from Bush I am looking for is this:<\/p>\n “I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not insulted. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hold it against the government. The guy wanted to get on TV and he did.\u00c2\u00a0 I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what his beef is, but whatever it is, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure someone will hear it<\/strong>.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Good lard again.\u00c2\u00a0 I know the man doesn’t speak or understand Arabic, or the flailing of a man in the crowd at a time when he’s more concerned by a flying object, but the man did express his beef.\u00c2\u00a0 Which is expressed in this:<\/p>\n “This is for the widows and orphans and all those killed in Iraq<\/em>.”<\/p>\n Again, feel free to extrapulate to any ideology beyond that, or to hem and haw surging and replacing some more democratic or republican government into Iraq as against it, but I gather that’s a fair expression of his opinion.<\/p>\n Seriously, anytime I feel like edging some manner of qualification to a generally negative opinion on Bush he opens his mouth and plummets right back down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Desparately trying to find some key quotations from Bush regarding the two shoes, I bump into an excerpt from RushLimbaugh.com, which goes: What people don’t know is Bush told the secret service, get away, you saw what happened, some loco weed threw a shoe.
