Drones not as in those airborne unmanned objects giving Al Qaeda such grief, but in this case mindless leftists.

The Detroit Free Press: HBO apologizes for beheading George W. Bush on 'Game of Thrones'

On Thursday, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the guys who have adapted George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" books into HBO series "Thrones," apologized after revealing in commentary for the DVD version of the show's first season that they used a replica of President George W. Bush's head in a couple of the show's beheading scenes.

Why, what a rebellious combination of a very edgy and oh-so-secret act of speaking truth and beheading the power.

I'm sure the crew got quite the chuckle over it and felt very brave for such a courageous act.

Actually, make that beheading the former power. W. was long out of office before filming started in 2010. I guess the power of the W. lingers, especially within the liberal mind. After all, Obama is still blaming Bush for everything bad even in 2012.

Please, if you want to be really edgy with your beheading images, try using the replica head of Obama or Mohammed. Good luck with getting away with those while either keeping your own careers if you use the first or keeping your own heads in the second....

Of course, now they're trying to walk it back and claim that it was used for "budget restrictions".

Sure it was.

When the shoe's off the other foot

Yes we've all seen the video of an Arab reporter cursing President Bush and throwing his shoes at him (and missing from 15 feet away).

Throwing a shoe at someone is considered a grand insult in the Arab world, apparently even sitting with the soles of your shoes facing another can be taken as insulting.

This of course makes this shoe throwing coward with bad aim a hero in the Arab world.

Very typical. The Iraqis were shamed because when the Americans came and liberated them from Saddam Hussein it happened so quickly and easily, - the Arabs couldn't do it themselves.

They certainly wouldn't have thrown shoes at Saddam - they would have been fed feet-first into a plastic shredder by Saddam's minions. Heck they even beat Saddam's statues with shoes once he had been removed from power.

This "brave" reporter's act was an act of weakness and pathetic, not to mention lousy aim.

Now once the real threat of death is gone for making a political statement and Iraqis are free to vote for their own leaders, now this guy decides to be brave.

Sort of like a bully that only picks a fight when he knows his opponent will not fight back.

His fellow Arabs and the leftists here (see the lovely lefties' comments online to the Detroit Free Press report of the story) think he's all that now.

Everyone else calls him a coward, and with bad aim at that.
