US media takes shoe, makes lemonade

Muntadha al-Zaidi’s shoe may have missed George Bush, but it left a figurative black eye on the warrior emperor,
and, a literal shiner on White House spokes- gidget Dana Perino. She was hit by a microphone as secret service agents rushed to protect the president. Which could not have worked out better for the US media.
If the injured staffer had been a man, do you imagine the news photos of facial bruises would be so intimate? While the world media is focused on demonstrations to urge the release of al-Zaidi, the US media is zooming in close on Perino’s black eye. I’m thinking, you don’t have to be a wife-beater to admit to the provocative element in these pictures of a battered blond, about as tall as a child, female.
You need quite a distraction from the embarrassing imagery of world citizenry eager to kick Bush in the ass as he leaves office.
Perino was already familiar with USO Playboy Bunny cheesecake.

I could almost see her trying to carve a backward “H” or a backward “O” in her face with a safety pin.
