Float Like a Butterfly

President Bush proved today that he has better moves than my starting fantasy football running back did this week.

See here. You HAVE to click the video link- it's definitely worth it.

Bush's response?

"So what if the guy threw his shoe at me?" Bush told a reporter in response to a question about the incident.

"Let me talk about the guy throwing his shoe. It's one way to gain attention. It's like going to a political rally and having people yell at you. It's like driving down the street and having people not gesturing with all five fingers.

"It's a way for people to draw attention. I don't know what the guy's cause is. But one thing is for certain. He caused you to ask me a question about it. I didn't feel the least bit threatened by it."

Have to hand it to the guy: that "not gesturing with all five fingers" bit is pretty good. I may use that one myself in the future...

Aside: Let's hope Secret Service wises up a bit. People may not like the guy, but he's still the President and deserves a little better protection (as we'd hope the service would provide for the guy that's about to take his place).
