A GAME--what would other politicians have done if a pair of shoes were thrown at them?
Edited on Sun Dec-14-08 11:33 PM by Bicoastal
Dick Cheney would have told the shoes to go fuck themselves.

Donald Rumsfeld would have claimed the shoes were greeting him as a liberator.

Condi Rice would wait to find out how expensive the shoes were before ducking.

Joe Lieberman would get hit by one shoe, then endorse the other shoe for President.

Rudy Giuliani would announce that he was only the American qualified to save the country from having more shoes thrown at it.

Tom Tancredo would insist on building a wall around his head to keep other foreign-made shoes from getting in.

John McCain would respond by claiming that "the fundamentals of not getting hit by a shoe are strong."

Sarah Palin would immediately take steps to prevent Putin's shoes from coming into her headspace.

Howard Dean would proclaim he'd respond by throwing sandals, boots, pumps, sneakers, moccasins, YEAAAARGH!

Bill Clinton would question having been hit by debating what the definition of "shoes" is.

Hillary Clinton would throw more shoes at Bill.

Nancy Pelosi would immediately take the idea of throwing her own shoes off the table.

John Kerry would duck the shoes, then immediately be accused of not ducking fast enough.

Al Gore would use the event to call worldwide attention to the millions of shoes entering Earth's atmosphere every year.

Joe Biden would tell a touching story about getting shoes LITERALLY thrown at his head as a child back in Scranton, God love 'em...

AND

Barack Obama would catch the shoes, dribble twice, then score a three-pointer from half court.


Any suggestions?

8. this is fun......
Dick Cheney would shoot the shoes

Barack Obama would analyze the shoe and find out what's wrong. Then he'd convince the American people on how we need to change shoes.

Sarah Palin would wear the shoes but only if they were designer shoes.

John Edwards would give the shoes to the poor.

Richard Shelby would complain about the American shoemakers unions paying the shoemakers too much then use tax dollars to subsidize a foreign shoe factory.

Harry Reid would let the shoes hit him in the back then wake up and realize his spine is in pain. Then some stronger Senate Dems that actually want legislation passed would remind him that he has a spine.

David Vitter and Eliot Spitzer would take the first ladies shoe thrown at him and take it to a whorehouse, and go to a hotel with the Cinderella that can wear the shoe.

Rod Blagojevich would sell the shoes on ebay but put a very high reserve on it.

John McCain would declare a 100 year war on shoes. Later when asked about the health problems and foot pain a war on shoes is called he would respond to a reporter by using "podiatry" in air quotes.

Rudy Guiliani would ban the wearing of shoes in NYC.

Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney, and George Bush would send the shoe to Gitmo to be use "interrogation tactics"


more later, this is fun (and my next blog entry).

19. What would the pundits do?
Sean Hannity would constantly bring up the shoes' "troubling connections" that would "raise serious questions" about their fitness to be worn.

Glenn Beck would say the shoes were idiotic and that he hated them amd that they were "scumbags" and that his father would never have put up with shoes like that being thrown at him.

Rush Limbaugh would try to use the shoes to get high.

Lou Dobbs would say that the shoes were illegally imported and were thus taking work away from decent American shoes.

Anderson Cooper would soak the shoes in a tub of water and then cry about how terrible it was that the leather had been ruined.

Bill O'Reilly would declare that the shoes were not sandals like Jesus wore, nor pointy-toed like elf shoes, nor shiny and black like Santa's boots, and were thus obviously part of the War on Christmas.

Joe Scarborough would constantly try to find a link between the shoes and any kind of scandal whatsoever.

Mika Brzezinski would just giggle about the shoes.

David Gregory would put the shoes on and dance.

Chris Matthews would laugh "HA!" when the shoes hit him.

Keith Olbermann would deliver a Special Comment about the shoes: "You, Shoes, are not even fit to be worn, much less thrown!"

Rachel Maddow would beg to be talked down from the shoes.
