Shoes thrown at Bush on Iraq trip

[edit on 14-12-2008 by resistancia]

I saw this at 6am this morning on Aussie news.

Almost peed myself laughing

Shame that Bush ducked...if he had been hit there would have been a
change of underwear

This has made my day

its too funny...Bush ducks the shoe and smiles...priceless

That strange sadistic smile on Bush's face after someone expressed bad feelings towards him and he dodged it. He gets off on the response he gets from people angered and hurt, and how he is "untouchable"

"I am surprised that his security team allowed this to happen, well at least the second shoe being thrown. "

His "security team" was there right after the second shoe, Bush's response, a "Nevermind..." brushoff of the guy.

Having watched the video I'd have to wonder, with regards the near immediate dismissal of security and seeming further interest in the "situation", whether or not his interests were more focused on the questions, complaints and concerns of the individual or moreover That of Let's see what happens next...

Just had that feel...

Or even a female Journalist with very pointy sharp Stilletos eh !

The translation of the verbal attack before the Physical one is being given now as:

Before throwing his shoes at Bush the reporter stood up and said,

"this is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog".

Looks like an Iraqi Kiss to your enemy is like a Glaswegian Kiss from long range!

Cant stop watching it, and as said he was quick in his reactions, he seemed to smile after the first one was thrown.

Yep, he did handle it well, and seemed to defuse the situation a bit, telling everyone to calm down, and sit down, to carry on.

Must say the only time I have ever been impressed with anything GW did...

I had a thought watching it reminded me a little bit of back in school, Like a food fight, imagine if another Iraqi in there had followed his lead!!

Within seconds 100 odd pairs of shoes reigning down on him!

The first assassination attempt ever by shoes...

Loke.

Very lax security for a POTUS, eh?

Well ... there is still time for the 20 year POTUS curse to get him.

It could still happen.

Who throws shoes? Honestly, you fight like a woman!!

Sorry, someone had to say it.

Damn... lol I did say it on the other thread First thing that popped into my head on seeing the vid

Someone mentioned in their post earlier that the soles of shoes thrown at a person is the ultimate insult.

To you it may be the way a woman would vent her anger, to a Moslem it is an insult.

Hmmm,

Wonder how many other leaders of a country that he could throw his shoes at and still be alive 20 seconds after it was done.

The throwing of a shoe in Iraq is like spitting in the face of someone in North America.

You have to take shoes off before entering a mosque.

One could only have wished Bush would have moved that fast after finding out we were under attack on September 11th instead of sitting in that classroom for sooooo long. I still have a problem with his reaction time on that one.

lol it's the must watch video of the year!!!

and the lame jokes after - that man sucks at being a president and sucks even more at the 'diffuse the tension' jokes. i just feel sorry for the poor reporter who threw the shoes at him. I hope they go easy on him.
