Throwing shoes — seriously, now.
By the DivaWe grew up with an angry-ass sister. Who threw a lot of things, including a steak knife at our mother when she was 9. It stuck in a door and she was uninjured. Still, it takes a lot of hate to heave something deadly, even at folks to whom you are related.
That said, a lot of our galpals have come plumb out of the woodwork today to opine on the Iraqi journo who got pissed enough to hurl a shoe at President Bush. The bad news: you don’t get away with throwing anything at the leader of the free world. Even one that is preparing to exit stage left. So dude is probably locked up in the camel jail for a very long time.
Even our thoughtful and sensitive boypals have weighed in, given the sensitive nature of shoe detante.
“Remember, strappy high heels don’t kill people. People kill people,” types one our total favorites.
Can we get that on a bumper sticker or perhaps a nice t-shirt?
So true, so true.
At least these were loafers, so there wasn’t really a killer stiletto involved. Smelly, cheap Third-Worlder journo loafers, no doubt.
Cause if he were tossing the Gucci’s or Ferragamo’s, we’d be super more interested. Mainly about the quality of the footwear, less about the international stir.
Still, it did make good video, cultural sensitivities be damned.
