Soo many funny quotes, and comments, though I am surprised no one has said that he should not give up the day job and go to the circus as a Knife
thrower!

would go through quite a few assistants I think.
That thought got me to thinking again about something I posted yesterday, do you really think he planned this or was it just impulse?
Now if he planned it, as people practise with target's with Pics of their most despised person on there, like many did when younger with darts and
air/BB guns...
Well we can now allow ourselves to
Picture the scene , a little known Journalist at home, with a Picture of Bush stuck to his door, trying to
hit it with his slippers or shoes at 10 yds
The comments too also some quite strong ones from both sides.
I have taken this as humour, though obviously as Mike Sing has mentioned it does break some peoples acceptable modes of behaviour in such settings.
Anyhow what is interesting now is that the Iraqi Authorities are stuck between a Rock and a hard place.
They have to criminally punish this shoe thrower.
Though I doubt if normally if this happened to someone in work or the street and the shoes did not hit, you would be not even taken to the Police
Station. Given howr the gravitas of the target they have to do something....
However a folk hero truly has been born:
Iraq rally for Bush shoe attacker
Thousands of Iraqis have demanded the release of a local TV reporter who threw his shoes at US President George W Bush at a Baghdad news
conference.
Crowds gathered in Baghdad's Sadr City district, calling for "hero" Muntadar al-Zaidi to be freed from custody.
Officials at the Iraqi-owned TV station, al-Baghdadiya, called for the release of their journalist, saying he was exercising freedom of expression.
BBC News
I am sure one of those banners says free shoes for life for our hero
