BBC NEWS | Middle East | Shoes thrown at Bush on Iraq trip
He has pretty good reflexes.
An anvil would be more appropriate, but well done.

I just wish the dude would have been at the side of the room so Bush wouldnt have seen the shoe flying at him. A sole to the dome of the President would have been historically some of the most epic ownage of our time
I agree this journalist was retarded throwing the shoes where he was.I know it is suppose to be a big insult in the Arab world but, that is like cursing someone out in another language they don't understand. You just don't get the same effect.Quote:

PS. Zeitgeist thank you very much for posting the scene! I had heard about this but hadnt seen it yet. :thumbsup:
2 terms summed up in a few seconds
the funniest part to me is that when the guy throw the second shoe the person sitting behind him grabs him by the belt and pulls him down on top of him
I think grenades would have been better.lol
Few thoughts:
1) I think the Iraqi journalist in the light brown suit that was the first to react(on camera, at least) should be commended and given a high spot within the Iraqi government.
2) I assume everyone was heavily screened and metal detected before being allowed into the room, but it's still nice to know that if you manage to get a weapon of some sort into the room, you have about a 4 second grace period in which you can unlash that weapon onto the President of the United States.
3) I like Bush's reaction the first time but he looked like a little bitch trying to bat the second one down. Theodore Roosevelt would have charged the man and beat him with his own shoe. What happened to the days of Manifest Destiny?
I wish they let high priced hookers in to see those meetings, I'd rather see a sharpy, shiny stilleto flying through the air than a harmless loafer.
-High five for Iraqi man who throws shoe at governor bush.
lol. He may be a bad president, he may be a bad person, but I think he would be really fun to hang out with at a party. It's incredibly disgusting but at the same time its also really funny how he makes a joke out of this. I think I can even see him smiling after the first shoe was thrown.
