Questions That I Have for the Secret Service
1. Shouldn’t you have jumped in front of that shoe?
2. Shouldn’t you have jumped in front of that second shoe?
3. Second shoe = the one thrown after being removed from foot after first shoe was thrown.
4. Let’s say people had three feet. Would you have allowed a third shoe to fly unimpeded?
5. While the shoe was in the air, were you like, “Oh, its just a shoe.”
6. Same question about the second shoe.
7. Do you think this is funny, “Throw a shoe at me once, shame on—you. Throw a shoe—you throw a shoe, you can’t throw a shoe again.”
8. Is there not “protection training” for lunatics launching objects?
9. Let’s say there isn’t training for that—but do they tell you that if someone does throw (or shoot) something to be on the alert in case they want to repeat this behavior?
10. Where were you?BONUS QUESTION: Do you think the Iraqis want us there? (Hint: their journalists are throwing their shoes at Bush)
These are excellent, hard-hitting questions. A shoe is considerably slower than a bullet.
did you see bush answering questions from reporters after the shoes were down? that man’s arrogance truly knows no bounds. ‘it’s just like political protesters…’ oh, you mean the ones throwing rotten vegetables at your parade on inauguration day? or the ones who are fenced into a ‘free speech zone’ four miles away from wherever you land in portland? how the fuck would you know, you simpering idiot.
he can not pack to leave the white house fast enough. had i been on the scene, i’d have handed that journalist another couple of shoes – he got a better shot with the second than the first, i think he might have connected if he had one more chance.
