    Did the Iraqi Journalist’s Shoe REALLY Hit George W. Bush in the Head?

    December 16, 2008 /
    Shoes and Bush

    Apparently, YES.

    Flap wants to GAG. Isn’t it enough President George W. Bush screwed up the GOP for possible decades with a poorly conceived and conducted foreign policy, especially in Iraq?

    Now, Bush has succeeded in leaving a lasting imprint on the economy.

    KEY GRAPH: “I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system….”

    Michelle calls the quote a political epitaph. Flap thinks the President is just burying his reputation deeper.

    Shoe anyone?

    A New Game For Bush Derangement Syndrome Sufferers -Throw The Shoe at Bush

    December 15, 2008 /
    Shoe-the-Shoe-at-Bush-game

    Here is the site (contributed to Flap by a reader)

    This is the “throw a shoe on Bush” -game.

    In the upper curve you adjust the angle.
    In the lower curve you adjust the strength.
    And if that wasn’t it, this guy has 3 shoes!

    (When it pops yellow you have a hit, when it is red you must throw again)

    Kast skoen = Throw the shoe
    Kast igjen = Throw again

    It is quite easy to hit Bush. The Iraqi journalist yesterday must REALLY be a moron.

    Video: Iraqi Journalist Throws Shoes at President Bush, Dana Perino and Secret Service Receive Black Eyes

    December 14, 2008 /
    bush-and-shoes

    What a farewell to President Bush – getting shoes thown at you. But isn’t that what the radical Jihadists want to show – disdain for President Bush since they could not defeat him or the United States in Iraq?

    Welcome to Baghdad. An Iraqi reporter set off pandemonium Sunday by hurling two shoes at President Bush during a news conference that was the centerpiece of his secret goodbye visit.

    Bush was cool under fire and prevented an even bigger incident by waving off his lead Secret Service agent, who was prepared to extract him from the room.

    Video shows the president’s lead agent rushing to the podium, but the president immediately and subtly motions to him that it’s OK. The agent backs off.

    The president successfully ducked both throws. Photos show him with his head down near the top of the podium.  The embarrassing incident marred a visit meant to show off the improved conditions since the troop “surge” dramatically reduced casualties to U.S. troops.

    “This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog,” the journalist shouted (in Arabic), Steven Lee Myers of The New York Times reported in a pool report to the White House press corps.

    Myers reported that the man threw the second shoe and added: “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.”

    Here is the video:

    As was described in the video above White House Press Secretary Dana Perino received a microphone in the eye and has a shiner. The Secret Service who were apparently in the other room eating donuts also received a black eye because they were nowhere to be found. Secret Service = disgraceful in this case.

    Michelle Malkin has more on the journalist, Muntazer al-Zaidi, a correspondent for the independent al- Baghdadiya television station. Whoever this jerk works for will award him a medal.

    Flap wonders if the President-Elect will make a comment? So, far crickets.

    In the meantime, unfazed President Bush is off to Afghanistan.

    Video: The Bush – Streisand Smooch

    December 8, 2008 /

    And, remember Barbara Streisand’s class (LESS) remark:

    Barbra Streisand got an awkward kiss on the cheek from the president, and yes, she gave him a smooch back. Streisand, a vocal critic of President George W. Bush, was a guest Sunday at the White House just before one of Washington’s few A-list events: the Kennedy Center Honors.

    “Art transcends politics this weekend,” the longtime Democrat said beforehand. Still, she said it would have been “lovely” if she could have received the award while President-elect Barack Obama was in office.

    It was more like a peck, anyway.

    Barf Alert: Streisand and Bush Share Smooch – Streisand Remains Classless

    Kennedy Center 2008 Honorees, from left, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Twyla Tharp, Morgan Freeman, Barbara Streisand, and George Jones pose for a group photo after the State Department Dinner for the Kennedy Center Honors gala Saturday, Dec. 6, 2008 at the State Department in Washington.

    Yeah, it was an awkward smooch and the President was the class act even shaking her fraking hand after the vitriol she has dished out to him. But as per Babs:

    Barbra Streisand got an awkward kiss on the cheek from the president, and yes, she gave him a smooch back. Streisand, a vocal critic of President George W. Bush, was a guest Sunday at the White House just before one of Washington’s few A-list events: the Kennedy Center Honors.

    Naturally……

    Bush Derangement Syndrome – Time for Him to Go

    November 22, 2008 /
    bushliarweb

    Damn, this lefty New York Times MORON cannot wait for President Bush to leave the Presidency.

    Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning.

    Seriously. We have an economy that’s crashing and a vacuum at the top. Bush — who is currently on a trip to Peru to meet with Asian leaders who no longer care what he thinks — hasn’t got the clout, or possibly even the energy, to do anything useful. His most recent contribution to resolving the fiscal crisis was lecturing representatives of the world’s most important economies on the glories of free-market capitalism.

    Putting Barack Obama in charge immediately isn’t impossible. Dick Cheney, obviously, would have to quit as well as Bush. In fact, just to be on the safe side, the vice president ought to turn in his resignation first. (We’re desperate, but not crazy.) Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would become president until Jan. 20. Obviously, she’d defer to her party’s incoming chief executive, and Barack Obama could begin governing.

    Talk about Bush Derangement Syndrome.

    Exit question: How long will the plunkers at the New York Times continue to bash Bush when he is out of office?

    SHOCKER: No Oversight for $700 Billion Financial Bailout Package

    November 13, 2008 /
    pelosi-and-reid-bailout

    Don’t blame Flap who didn’t support the financial bailout.

    In the six weeks since lawmakers approved the Treasury’s massive bailout of financial firms, the government has poured money into the country’s largest banks, recruited smaller banks into the program and repeatedly widened its scope to cover yet other types of businesses, from insurers to consumer lenders.

    Along the way, the Bush administration has committed $290 billion of the $700 billion rescue package.

    Yet for all this activity, no formal action has been taken to fill the independent oversight posts established by Congress when it approved the bailout to prevent corruption and government waste. Nor has the first monitoring report required by lawmakers been completed, though the initial deadline has passed.

    “It’s a mess,” said Eric M. Thorson, the Treasury Department’s inspector general, who has been working to oversee the bailout program until the newly created position of special inspector general is filled. “I don’t think anyone understands right now how we’re going to do proper oversight of this thing.”

    In approving the rescue package, lawmakers trumpeted provisions in the legislation that established layers of independent scrutiny, including a special inspector general to be nominated by the White House and a congressional oversight panel to be named by lawmakers themselves.

    The most MAJOR error in the McCain campaign for President was acquiescing on the Bush, Pelosi, Reid, Paulson bailout plan. Had McCain come out against the bailout he may have had a chance at being elected President.

    Now, the American taxpayers will just be screwed over and over again by the big spenders in Congress.

    No oversight indeed.
