i don't know if you guys know this, but i am not george bush's biggest fan, and when that reporter in IRAQ threw those shoes at him i laughed and had a generally warm feeling all over that lasted for days...
i was euphoric...
But low and behold, Laura Bush (Notice her name gets capital letters...), spoke about that incident and spun it into a positive for george bush's legacy, and you know what, she was right...there is one positive that was reflected in that shoe throwing incident and the fate of the would be assailant...
she pointed out that under Saddam Hussein, that shoe thrower would have never felt free enough to throw his shoes at a world leader standing next to Saddam...
not only that, but she added that if he did throw that shoe with the former Iraqi leader in the room, the thrower would have been incarcerated for the rest of his short ass life right up until the time that Saddam had him executed...
and you know what?
she's fucking right...
the people in Iraq do enjoy more freedoms than they did before....
that still doesn't make the lies her husband told alright, nor was it worth the 50,000 plus lives lost, or the 2 trillion dollars it will ultimately cost us....
but whatever...that being said...there are still backwards ASS countries in ASIA that are executing people for things as simple as drug possession and the like....
so fuck them too....
don't let it be said that "the angry new yorker" wont give a bush credit where credit is due...its just that it took 8 years for anyone with that name to finally have said anything relevant to reality...
word!!!
nah mean???
