In his final press conference this morning, President Bush was asked to respond to his harshest critics over the past eight years, whom Charles Krauthammer has described as being afflicted with

Via Think Progress, Krauthammer later appeared on Fox News with this gem of a reference to the Iraqi shoe-throwing journalist Muntadhir Al-Zaidi: "[Bush] took a shoe for the country, a bullet for the country."

Check out the video for Krauthammer's full response:

Sometimes I get the feeling that we are immersed in the realm of the absurd. There are not enough shoes in the world to throw onto these derelicts.

[IForgotMyName]

Bush didn't take a shoe for the country, he gave the country the finger especially the people in New Orleans and the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The one who took a shoe (to his head) was Krauthammer judging by the BS he is talking.

[Okieborn]

Krauthammer Is Much Much Much Much to Ugly For Photographs !!!

[drock973]

I think he's Alan Colmes long lost brother.

[OverIt]

Read that wrong. I thought he said Bush took a shoe TO the country!

[spandautoseattle]

But he is a great actor. As every propagandist and member of the Cheney/Bush group has to be.
That there are newspapers that still run his or W. Kristol's column won't help keeping them in business.

[Totto]

And we've got a few old shoes for you, too, "Dr. Strangelove".

[garymc8]

Can we get you a boot Charles? Blood lust is infectous

[issa09]

B. .. S... Pass the vom. it bucket.

[TakingBackTheUSA]

Bush took one for the country? Are you serious?!?!

More like gave one to the country, if you follow my meaning....

Let's get this straight, Bush took 2, all for his policy. Policies which are the very reason why the USA is hated in many corners of the world. Invading a sovereign nation unprovoked and occupying them for several years does not win you many friends, aside from those that would do the same.

[roblabrousse]

I don't know how he does it but this guy can sh-t and talk out his mouth at the same time. It must happen because his brain produces more sh-t than it can handle. And that blond bombshell of a newscaster her brain has been damaged by all that peroxide used on her hair, so she is just simple minded. She'll say anything she's told to say. So it's the political hour with Sh-t for Brains and Air Head. Thanks. They ought to keep this two on closed circuit television.

[jazzycafe]

Our country is in no way better off. Alright Krauthammer, what have you been smoking?

[thepoliticalcat]

Does anyone even know who Charles Krauthammer is? Does anyone care? Does anyone even listen to him? Hopefully with the disappearance of el Di m bu l b o, these vipers like K, Mark Steyn, Rush, Melanie Morgan, Anne Coulter and the rest of that v i t up e r at i v e bunch will slither back to their holes and never be heard from again.

[AurigaRa]

the guy won a Pulitzer and is loved by the far right,
But he's an idiot

[PDXTransplant]

Charles Krauthammer would have been a great actor, because he's so fugly he could have played parts like a mob boss or ser|al ki||er. Hard to believe he actually thinks Bush took one for the country - what is wrong with these people??? My Gawd!

[luvobama]

reminds me of the villian in the movie Ghost.

[rasit]

You mean when the shadows start creeping toward him...

[Kaccey]

He is...karrreeepy ugggly

[Wiserone]

He HONESTLY equated a shoe thrown with 'taken a bullet'???? I would bet the folks who have lost loved ones in Iraq fighting that ILLEGAL WAR, would have preferred a shoe thrown at their sons or daughters who dies. Arrogant SOB, you are Charlie.

[Grannysue]

Oh Charlie you silly guy, Bush took a couple of shoes because he deserved them, now keep on smokin whatever it is your smokin cause it apparently keeps you head clogged up enough to believe all the GOP BS.
