Wow, I don’t think a louder political statement has been made with clothing items since feminists supposedly burned bras in Atlantic City. Of all the insults and expletives hurdled at President Bush, especially over his war in Iraq, I’m sure none hit home like the shoes being hurdled at him by that Iraqi journalist. By now Bush knows the cultural insult implied by the attempted assault with footwear (the same ending Saddam’s statue met when it fell). It means you are the lowest of the low. But I wonder if it dawned on him, finally, how despised and vulnerable, he has become. And, when I say vulnerable, I don’t just mean the 7 seconds or so it took for Secret Service to respond (guess they were also distracted reading My Pet Goat), but how REALLY much of a prisoner to bad history and global ill-will he’s going to become. Well, since we can’t ascertain this from what he says—joking afterwards—let’s see if he gets it from the look on his face during and after the shoes whizzed by….

If women "supposedly" burned bras in Atlantic city, then I guess that MLK supposedly gave the "I had a dream" speech. Lets stop sounding dumb and do a little bit of research so we can sound sure of what were publishing to the masses. It only takes a moment, especially with the internet. Stop sounding so stupid.
DeepBlue, if YOU did your research you'd know that the bra burning by feminists protesting the miss america pagent in Atlantic City (the was demonstration that started the trend of bra burning) was a myth. It was an idea the protesters were going to do, but ditched it. So, no you stop sounding stupid...and mean...LOL.
