Gotta Be the Shoes

Ok, so I was watching the Texans this afternoon. It was actually a really good game as they were able to pull off a big win over the Titans 13-12. They have won four in a row now, and seem to be finally living up to the expectations that so many people had for them at the beginning of the season.

Anyway, that is not what has me writing this rare Sunday blog. No that would be the news report that came on right before the start of the second half. Here is a video of the report involving President Bush:



Really, after about the 16-17 second mark I'm not sure how interesting this video really is, but at that point it's pretty interesting I think. Now in the Middle East throwing a show at someone is a grave sign of disrespect, and I can understand that really. Still, not really what you are expecting to see coming your way. I'm just reminded of the scene near the end of the first Austin Powers movie.

Beyond that it's just kind of funny to see happen. What would the media have reported had the show clocked him in the noggin? "Well this is just another reason why Bush was unfit to run our country. He can't even dodge a shoe thrown from 25 feet." I do wonder where the Secret Service was in this. I mean if you watch the video it's not like the guy was being that sneaky about it. He got a bit of a start at Bush down the aisle and heaved the shoe. Not like he was sitting and flung it from a seated position and it was hard to tell who was responsible. I guess that they just aren't really expecting to need to be ready for an immediate response to a flying shoe. In the end the President was able to report that the shoe was a size 10. Peace and Love y'all.
