The Shoe thrown 'round the World



Ya' Gotta Love these Times!

The Shoe thrown 'round the World, speaks freely so that we hear what someone else is saying, beyond the filters, despite language differences, in front of cameras before editing. Free from a talking head interpretation. Free for us to see the moment and question it privately, normally.

Compliments to President Bush for observing a few moments after two brush down throws, that Muntazer al Zaidi, a news reporter for independent al-Bagdadiya Television, is living in a Free Society and the act of throwing a shoe was a form of democratic expression. "It's like going to a political rally and having people yell at you. It's like driving down the street and have people not gesturing with all five fingers..." correlating experiences he is familiar with.

His point can be readily understood during the 2006 White House Correspondents Association Dinner featuring Steven Colbert skewering without interruption both the Bush-Cheney Administration and OUR Free Press.

Yep, the Global Common Good is now Real Time phenomenon for non-engaged observers.

Montazer al Zaidi has one heck of a right arm! He might have missed the President, but he did hit a nerve. Does he pitch for anyone?
