If the shoe fits?

[shepgirl]

Chretien is no GQ cover boy, either!

What a super nasty comment for someone left with a severe disfigurement from a stroke that nearly killed him.

[Catty1]

Gee, shepgirl - in his biography, he said he was born with it.

You are the one that pointed out he has a physical defect. I don't see it in this picture. Even as a young man he was no hunk.

That is the point. RICHARD said the Stones were all ugly, and I said even in a regular pic, Chretien is no pin-up either.

Please go and find out if any of the Stones have a defect so you can point it out and slam RICHARD for saying they are ugly.

Just to set he record and your information straight, Chretien suffered Bell's Palsy as a very young child. Neurosurgeons eventually managed to straighten his face quite nicely, but the stroke he suffered cause irreparable damage. His face became twisted and will remain so.
Hate it when someone makes a mockery out of a handicap.

[Catty1]

I was not making fun of his handicap. There are many people who would be considered not great looking, and have no handicap at all.

My sister spent many years in a wheelchair, and died of MS at the age of 48, in 2006.

You accused the wrong person here, chickie.

Hey, he's getting the "boot" outta the white house anyway

I found it funny, but it was really stupid on the guys part. It was wrong of him to do, whether the man be an idiot(in this case he just happened to be one) or not. Throwing shoes is not exactly something people should do to people they dislike. It is an insult to the country, but then again so is bush.

I found it funny because it's just so random, why a shoe?

[Lady's Human]

Why a shoe? It's an Arab insult, it's basically telling someone that they're lower than the dirt on the bottom of your shoes.

It's about the worst insult an Arab can use. Combined with the language used, it's extremely offensive in their culture.

As to the rather base comments made about the current POTUS in this thread, I'm glad to see everyone respects the voters of this country.

Duly noted and bookmarked for future reference!

So much for respect for the First Amendment Rights!

I just can't help but think about the uproar if one of their officials had come here and one of our citizens had done that to them. I cna just HEAR it now

Heck even Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to Columbia University and the US was able to treat him with respect even though he has made his hatred of the US and Israel etc known to the world. yet he was treated with respect when he came here. if he hadn't been treated with respect people would be calling for the death of those who insulted him... kind of like when a cartoon about Allah was printed and people FREAKED ... yet a cross in a jar of urine was considered art

I don't know...

A lot of people on here are vehemently disagreed with... but would you assault them just because they said something that hurt your feelings? Would you find it funny if one PT member threw things at another PT member just because they didn't agree with their position.

No one is saying they shouldn't have the right to free expression... but he only has the right to free expression... NOT to have people agree with his actions.

and there is a difference between disagreeing with the POTUS and trying to assault him. I don't AGREE with Obama but I would NEVER try to hurt him or personally insault him in the worst way I could imagine.

[Lady's Human]

I have total respect for the rights granted under the Constitution of the United States. I think 20 years of my life defending the government and the document that guides it would pretty much answer that question.

HOWEVER......

I refuse to stand by while people use their rights to belittle Constitutionally elected representatives and the people who voted for them.
If you disagree with a policy decision which has been made, fine, state that.

Calling someone an idiot and by extension calling the millions who voted for them idiots is a tad over the top.

I disagree with decisions the current President has made, but he's still the POTUS, and as such I will give him the respect that THE OFFICE deserves.

I disagree with many of the campaign promises and platform statements made by the President Elect, but would never call him an idiot.

I predict you and I will be disagreeing alot with the POTUS Elect and the Congress for the next 4 years.

I remain baffled to why you have not expressed any disgust at people calling Blagojevich an idiot, etc. Or various congresspersons.

Your disgust over disparaging remarks toward elected officials seems to only apply to either politicians you like or posters with whom you disgaree.

Why a shoe?

IN the Muslim culture even showing your sole/the bottom of your foot to anyone signifies you they lower than dirt.

This turd just showed how stupid his actions were and made the whole country look bad. Bush ducked and didn't back down. He even laughed it off.
Had that happened to any other American politician the news papers and media would have crucified the clown, his actions and the country where it happened. But the "Bush fatigue" makes people react negatively,

LOL, I wonder what footwear the next four years will bring.

The most dangerous shoe would have been a track or golf cleat, a five inch stilleto or those EMU books that people wear.


The reports says that the idiot went to the bowling alley in the neighborhood and rented a pair of shoes, throwing those instead of his own.

On a side note, CSPAN ran his speech to the troops at Camp Victory today and no matter what anyone says, he has always been a good speaker, funny, self deprecating and the crowd today cheered his speech lustily.


Um, ahhhhhh, ummmmmmm, ahhhhhhhhhhh........Ummm four years......ahhhhh.......I can hardly wait.

I have heard GW called many, many things. But NEVER before have I heard him called a Good Speaker. Not even by Bushies!

[RICHARD]

LOLOLOLOL,

When you have the Stuttering John Melendez as the next POTUS, GWB has to be rated waaaaaay above anyone that umms and ahhs their way thru life..


I found it interesting that people are buying painted U.S. coins to commerate his win of the WH.

The American Idiots that would pay 20 dollars for a painted 50 cent/dollar coin really make me wonder about this country.
