President Bush in his briar patch

President Bush neatly dodged a couple of shoes at a press function yesterday (video link).

You can see in the video that Bushie is smiling as he lame ducks the first shoe. Though meant as an insult, that exchange was probably the most fun Bush had on the trip. I suspect only 8 years of President Finishing School prevented the man from hunkering behind the podium and lobbing his own kicks back.

Wardrobe malefactors, I will give you good odds -- you do not want Bush to step down as badly as Bush does. Being president is a real drag when you just want to goof off and take long naps every day.
