Shoes for industry! Shoes for the dead!
Posted on:: December 15th, 2008
We now have the second iconic moment of the Bush presidency. This is how he’ll be remembered, if only because shoes seem to be so psychologically powerful: Khrushchev is remembered in this country for pounding his shoe on the UN’s lectern, and Adlai Stevenson is remembered for the hole in his shoe.
(NOTES: The first iconic moment was Bush speaking under the “Mission Accomplished” banner. And this post’s title is a Firesign Theater quote.)

I thought the Firesign theatre line was “Shoes for industry! Shoes for defense!”
No, I believe my brother is correct in the quotation, at least that is what I always heard.
So, Bush is for Industry and politically he is already powerless, so the quotation fits (even if the shoes don’t).
It’s trending my way: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/firesign-theatre/lexicon/part4/
Either way, the shoe fits pretty well.
Well, if the foo shits, wear it!*

*(Yeah, it is an old joke, but Bush’s joke on us has lasted nearly eight years.)
this is a pure artistic performance on so many level
too bad he will probably suffer even more in jail for giving us this historic moment of relief
