President's Moves Draw Kudos from Hollywood Legend

Retired Hanna-Barbera star, Top Cat, reached at his room in the Old Actors Home in Woodland Hills, California, said recently he was deeply impressed at how well the President handled having shoes thrown at him in Baghdad.

“Many was the time a thrown shoe knocked me clean off a wooden fence,” recalled Cat, 79. “Benny, Choo-Choo, we’d all get nailed now and then. It was usually after dark, and if we were talking loud we didn’t always hear it coming. But we ducked our share, too. We’re cats, we do have reflexes.”

Which was one of the things that impressed him and his gang most about the President’s reactions in Baghdad. Cat, whose close friends call him “T.C.”, said “that guy dodged those brogans like a pro. He was cool about it, see. We all agreed we'd hang out with him in an alley any time.”

Bush Press Secretary: 'You Should See the Other Guy'

According to the AP, the Iraqi/Baathist journalist who threw his shoes at President (“Iraq’s Liberator”) Bush was beaten up afterward “and had bruises on his face and around his eyes, a judge said Friday.” (“Iraqi judge: Shoe-tossing reporter was beaten”).


DU has been unable to confirm rumors that the person who beat up Muntather al-Zaidi, (whom the world’s Muslim spokesmen hail universally as a “courageous, heroic, tyrant-killer”), was none other than White House press secretary Dana Perino, who got a black eye herself as a result of al-Zaida's stunt.













It's reported the diminutive Ms. Perino reacted instinctively after seeing her boss attacked, saying she couldn’t “feature” not being able to take down a guy so puny he would attack his own nation's savior to stick up for a murdering shit like Saddam Hussein.

“I started out just bitch-slapping him,” Ms. Perino explained to reporters, once Al-Zaida had been hustled away to protective custody. “But when it dawned on me what the world press would do with the footage of those shoes being thrown, I switched to knuckles. It felt right, and didn’t even hurt! It was like punching a bad cantaloupe.”
