This is getting embarrassing

This unbelievably great video from MSNBC shows the President of our United States getting not one, but two, shoes thrown at him Sunday during a press conference in Iraq.


Say what you will about W., the man has cat-like quickness. My wife once threw a shoe at my head after I accidentally passed gas and I couldn't duck in time. George dodged two shoes without losing that damn smirk of his.
Still, I can't help but feel a little bit sorry for him. Imagine if you thought you were saving the world and all you got in return was two shoes thrown at you.
This is another great moment to add to the legacy.

Finally

Two Georges, one leader

One of the main reasons for the big defeat of the "bailout" or "rescue" plan has been the failure of politicians, most importantly President Illiterate, to explain what it is and what will happen if something isn't done.
Today, Barack finally tried to do that.
Here's the story from The Washington Post.

Olympic fever

Our President continues the search for WMDs

President Bush tallied another presidential first this week, becoming the first U.S. President to attend a beach volleyball match. We're so proud.

Meanwhile, I spent my Sunday night struggling to make dirty sentences by pairing the names of British swimmer Liam Tancock and Russian gymnast Ksenia Semenova.

Any help?

It took some brainstorming, but here's what I got:

I was hoping we'd hear the Al Trautwig, Elfi Schlegel or Tim Daggett say, "We've got Semenova here on the balance beam."Or, "Let's leave Semenova on the uneven bars and watch Tancock in the pool."
