who throws a shoe?

the likelihood (awesome spelling, btw. one of those words that really works with the 2nd grade 'just sound it out' strategy) of me ever posting twice in one day is slim to none, but I couldn't help myself given the shoe throwing incident. So for those that haven't seen it (and given my subscriptions now, there's a greater likelihood that you will not have seen my post vs not seen this video footage), President Bush was at a press conference with Iraqi prime minister Nuri al-Maliki. As the two talking heads were about to start spew talking points and mumble incoherently, a journalist promptly threw his shoe at him, shouted 'This if from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq, '(i think) and threw his other shoe. See it to believe it:

and it got me thinking about our lame duck's amazing footwork and agility. Which only means one thing - he's been working out, and working out hard. (not too busy being president) 

But working out for what? Everyone knows it's really hard to shed a few pounds and stay motivated to keep working out, especially with both the winter onset and holiday season. What makes the man tick? Does he know that one day, he may encounter a situation where he must dodge a flying flip flop (ouch). No, this is not an administration that "plans things out." So here are my top three secret identities that Resident Bush maintains:

1) Donkey Kong Mario

explains: time wasted, lack of eloquence, good guy vs bad guy mentality

2) British Secret Agent

explains: gross misuse of american language, inability to dance, squinty eyes

3) Professional Dodgeball Player

explains: ducking under hard questions, frequent altitude training at crawford ranch, fashion sense

I leave you to be the judge. Won't post again for another week or so, heading back down to New Orleans for another work week. See y'all on thursday!
