    God, I forgot that cartoon existed. My dad for some reason liked Shoe.


    They must have been seriously high when they came up with that concept. "OK, so they're birds, but they're journalists. And they live in trees, but type at desks that don't quite fit right in the tree. And they wear rumpled suits and smoke cigars and wear old timey newspaperman visors, but they don't seem to ever fly or leave the tree. And one of them looks oddly like Roger Ebert. So... draw that. Let's hit the bar."

    I defended my honor with a Ferragamo platform shoe once. No jury in the world would convict me.

    He attacked the President of America. It doesn't matter if it's Bush or whomever...the assasin must DIE.


    That's the rule. Attack America and die.

    Yes, but the stain on his record is going to last.


    Okay, that was my only shoe pun around this whole story and probably three of you got it. Which is why I don't pun much.

    The head of the MTA AND George Bush?


    If Ann Coulter takes a stiletto to the forehead, my Christmas wish list will be complete!

    @katastic: It wouldn't matter. Even if the stiletto put a hole in her forehead, it would just seal right back up, like the Terminator.

    @eXXX: It just did. I smacked the Starbucks barista in the head with my Puma for not giving me enough extra foam on my Tall, Skinny, Haf-Caf, Extra Foam, Extra Hot Latte. Clearly, a violation of my rights. And I just just reported it. Citizen Journalism wins!

    As a non-american, I swear to God if this man goes to jail for anything more than 4-8 months, the world will HATE and DESPISE you like nothing you've yet seen.


    War everyone understands, and everyone gets on a deep level. But if you send this man to jail for nothing more than embarrassing the prez, that's a petty form of tyranny that will make you reviled on a world stage.


    I'm not even kidding. Do it and there will be consequences.

    @Pope John Peeps II: I concur absolutely...I guess he should get some token punishment (even better if it's suspended for beatings served).


    I'm kind of starting to feel like we Americans should take to the streets with our own shoes on sticks.


    Does anyone know what the American legal system would do were, say, Tom Brokaw to throw his shoes at Putin? I'd really like to know.
