Iraqi Shoe-Thrower is Out The Joint
The d-bag who threw that shoe at Dubya? Well, he's getting out the joint on good behavior --- what the eff?
Are you serious?
Dude tried to bean the leader of the free world with one of his Skechers and he gets out the joint early? Holy Crap. I'm not saying he should have been put to death or anything, but it seems to me that attempting to assault the President of The United States with a shoe should get you a long trip to The Booty Farm, Jack. I don't care who it was, or what your protest, wrong is wrong. What's to deter someone from throwing thier Stacy Adams at President Obama? This guy gets a pass as O.J. Simpson rots in jail? Where's the justice? And the thrower was a journalist to, uh, boot. Jeez. So much for objectivity.
What do you think? Should they let this yahoo out?
