Incoming, Barry!

Guess which photo won't get a lot of play by the MSM?
Mr Barack Hussein Obama demonstrates that he can get things done much faster than his predecessor.  It took President Bush nearly eight years before an Iraqi "journalist" threw a shoe at him in Baghdad.  Mr Obama managed to have a book thrown at him at a pro-Obama rally in less than two.

At least Bush saw the missile coming and had the presence of mind to duck.

Update: Good Lord!  CNN is actually covering the incident.  What?  Oh.  It turns out that the Secret Service is saying that the thrower in question was an author who just wanted to get Mr Obama to read his book.

So for CNN, when it becomes a story is when it becomes a non-story.  That wheezy sound you hear is the CNN staff breathing a sigh of relief.

It looks like a graphic novel.
Were this CSI the photo would be magically enhanced enough to read the bar code for the ISDN.

Just my thought. That dumb, oblivious grin on Husseinovich's wug seems appropriate somehow.

I'd like to imagine it's a copy of the Constitution and someone yelling; "Live up to this, peabrain!"
