Dubya Dodges A Size 10 Shoe!
George Bush gave a surprise news conference in Iraq today and was greeted by the size 10 shoes of an Iraqi reporter. It's really important to know that the shoes were a size 10!
Bush dodged that shit before security came out and took the shoe thrower down. Bloomberg says that in Arab culture, throwing shoes is a sign of disrespect. Before being taken away, the shoe thrower shouted, “This is a farewell kiss, dog.”
After the shoe almost hit the Bush, the president told reporters, “I’m OK. “It doesn’t bother me. So what if he threw a shoe at me. All I can report is it is a size 10."
I'm surprised Dubya didn't catch the shoe and throw it back thinking the dude was playing a game of Hot Potato with him. You know Dubya loves a good game of Hot Potato!

I agree with kiwikim, I think we just need to let Bush's last weeks in office go by without ripping into him, it is unfair for people to keep going on at him, especially as this seems to be the only thing he has done of note recently.
OK, I don't like Bush, but this sort of shit is starting to make me feel sorry for him and I don't want to feel sorry for Bush, so everyone needs to stop it and start acting like Obama and have some dignity. You can beat someone down too much.
And I don't like anyone that compares Bush to a dog. Dogs are sweet and will run out into a freeway to scrunch their injured friend across many lanes of traffic. Bush wouldn't put his neck out for anyone.
Wow, this is the first time Bush has reacted to anything

Too bad he wasn't shot...And the secret service is a fucking joke
******************
No matter how bad a President is.... wishing death is just WRONG! But I will agree, the secret service sucked ass on this day.
Too bad he wasn't shot? The man has a month left in office - let it go already.

You like President Bush's mother?!?
In regards to the Hurricane Katrina refugees @ the Superdome, she's quoted as stating "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this [she chuckles slightly]is working very well for them."
OH COME ON!! That's quite a display of her perverse lack of compassion and understanding of the New Orleans community. I thought she was a nice old lady too until I heard that shit.
I love how his security team reacts slowly to the incident. They appear AFTER the incident.
Not surprising. Dubya's always been good at ducking.

So finally and a month before his exit Bush has found weapons in Iraq. Apparently Mr. al Zaidi is already considered a hero over there. Should run for president. Or King. Or head of the Sheiks. Whatever.
Of course he doesn't care that shoes were thrown at him. He's NEVER cared how other people feel in relation to the policies he's enacted.
Muntadhar al-Zeidi has my eternal respect. I'll gladly chip in a dollar or 2 to get him released.

A fitting tribute to the least popular president in U.S. history. He should get more than a shoe thrown at him for invading a sovereign nation based on a lie killing thousands and thousands of innocent iraqi civilions and leaving their country worse off than it was. But you can also blame dumbfuck America for supporting this jerkoff at the time.

I wish I could start chucking shoes at people. I hate the dude next door. I've been conteplating what to do to that asshole for years. Wait til he walks the dog. I'm just gonna start chucking shoes out the window at him.
Bwhaaa ha ha ha!! The NY Post has the headline "Shoe-icide Attack"!!!
Wow, Dubya has some good reflexes! I was completely impressed. I would have stood there like a lox and gotten smacked right in the face.
Personally, I like him...as President, he has been an abysmal joke. And I love his wife and his momma.
Too bad he wasn't shot...And the secret service is a fucking joke.
That's just wrong. Anyone that holds the office of the President of the United States should be paid a certain degree of respect, regardless of politics. However, I can understand this guy's frustration, the Iraq war has never made any damn sense to me from day one.
yes, christine the Hoff snores. Between listening to her snoring like a freight train and the dog biting his ass all night, I'm so glad I don't own a gun.
The reporter should be hot slut of the century...I would throw a lot of things dirtier than a shoe at Bush
Awesome video. I hope the journalist realizes that he has the freedom to throw that shoe. Under Saddam, he would have been executed.
Goooood morning Sluts!
This video gets better and better every time I watch it. Too bad his aim wasn't better.
rosemary, she truly IS a dumbass. in every sense.

Ok, ok, ok, she's here. Eddy, great news!
-She's dead?
No. She's blind!
hmm so... are shoes going to be banned from press conferences with this idiot now?
what's next? pens?
maybe he'll get a plexiglass screen to protect his sorry ass.
frankly if I saw that mofo and i was on my last pair of shoes, i'd gladly toss them at him and i have wicked aim.

OH when I said sarah palin is a dumbass, I don't think she's truly a dumbass, but when it comes to being vice president she is, just like probably most of america. I think the lady is pretty smart probably when it comes to leading maybe an y other group that doesn't require making life and death decisions. But I guess when you are put in a certain class of people , you are considered dumb or smart based on your peers around you (like obama, etc) She is plenty dumb for jumping into a job she can't do and realizing how old mccain is and if he died, what then? That's what is dumb about her. She knew she didn't know enough to be president. That was dumb.
people in different countries express displeasure differently.

I do think that people are really mad about him not pulling the troops out by now though. But, how do you do that really? If it's not finished, how do you do that? And is it finished?
Exactly there was no simple decision. just like i siad, I don't believe in war. But that's why I would never be president, that and I'm not smart in the area to do it, because I know something like 9 11, me not believing in war, I might become a hypocrite and just have to have war.
And he is too nice, not that the others aren't nice, but he has too big a heart i think to run for president. I think he knows that it's not for him.
You know who I really love? Jeb Bush. He is totally a sweet guy.
I don't know who to cheer for: that guy has serious aim, and Dubya getting knocked out with a shoe would've been like something out of a cartoon. At the same time, there's a small (really small) part of me that says it's just wrong to do that to a president, even if he's horrible at his job. Either way, good reflexes for both.
*sigh* I can't believe how many people still think Iraq had something to do with 9/11.
Iraq was not involved with 9/11, and that's very black and white.
Saddam Hussein was an enormous ass, but he never made any aggressive moves against the US, and never gave terrorists safe haven. Compared to say Afghanistan (hello, US hating Taliban), Pakistan (hello, US hating terrorist haven) or even Saudi Arabia (hello, country where several of the 9/11 hijackers were from).
As far as the troops fighting the war, their job is one that takes an incredible amount of bravery, it would be nice if that effort had gone to fighting in a country where there was evident involvement in 9/11. They have done some good, even with a crap assignment, so the fact that someone sees Iraq as a sham doesn't mean they're unpatriotic soldier haters.
*end rant*

I can't stand the majority of decisions Bush made, but I'm not ignorant enough to believe dealing with 9-11 was easy or, in any way, black and white on any level.
Funny vid. Like how he dodged those shoes. Awesome, but scary how close they could get to him. Where was the SS?
When Muntadhar's mother told him he should aim lower, he probably never considered this scenario.
dang! that guy really winged those shoes at his fucking face! I wish I did it!! and GW really is swift! I would have caught those nasty soles right in the kisser

about Dubya: i can't stand him, i mean, CANNOT, but i find him oddly sexy. Is that weird? is anyone else like this? Like, when he ducked for those shoes, I thought, "mmmmm", haha, and then I had to go scrub my brain out with soap.
:p
*******************
So glad you mentioned that. I'm not sure if I find him sexy (let's see... No.) but he is definitely on my list of people that would attend the worlds most interesting dinner party.
I fucking HATE almost all the initiatives he has made as President. I HATE his government. But on a personal level I find that I really like him. He's a coke sniffing, hard-drinking larrikan who is probaly a hell of a lot of fun before he accepted his 'destiny' as a Bush to take over the management of the USA.
My favourite Bush story is from when his father was President and the Queen of England was visiting. This was right in the middle of the Charles and Diana scandals and old Queeny was putting on her usual brave face and trying to give the impression that the royals were respectable and not a bunch of media-hungry, borderline personality disorder, toilet-worshipping, tampon-impersonating, adulterous bitches.
Dubbya finally comes up to the Queen and says, "Hello, I'm George. My mother has seated me right at the back of the room so you won't have to meet me. I'm the black sheep of the family. Who's yours?'
How can you not love that?

Bush is so quick. I'm impressed.
This is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever seen in my life. I laughed so hard I was crying!!
OMFG!!
That took some guts to throw those size 10 shoes at Bush's head!! Bet that shoe thrower got his ass whooooped!!!! You have to give it to Dubya,
he was on his game!!!! 2pts for Bush ` 0 for shoe man and a good ass kicking to boot , I mean shoe..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Karma baby!!! Go get you some!!!
This is it. The Iraqis clearly have hidden WMFs (Weapons of Mass Footwear) and Bush has only one alternative. He must face them alone and say, "Bring it on!"
If Bush tried to walk through the streets of his so-called "liberated" Iraq, he'd have a lot more than footwear thrown at him.
There is a movement "afoot" to show solidarity with the journalist who wished to speak the truth at the last coordinated photo op moment Bush had in Bagdad, a supposed "victory lap". Send a pair of shoes to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue before January 10.
However, you have to give this to Bush, for a "lame duck" he dodged pretty well. Some say it is the only timely reaction Bush had to anything for the last 8 years.
Interviewed after the incident, Bush accused the Iraqi media of having a hidden cache of Nike missiles, and promised to hunt down and smoke out the elusive mastermind of the attack, Thom McAnn.

That was the best move of Bush's entire presidency!
The first dodge was impressive because that shoe was thrown with conviction. The second one Bush was already feeling pretty sweet about life and just knew it wasn't going to hit him.
The shoe thrower must be feeling pretty pissed off for having perhaps the ONLY opportunity to connect a size 10 with W's kisser as president and failing from such a short distance.
--thanks awfully--
I hate Bush,it's to bad the shoe didn't connect. Bush has decent reflexes for an old fart but I would have loved to see him hit in the face.
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

Eloquently put and heart-felt and I agree. A shitty deck is a shitty deck no matter how ya deal 'em. The new incumbent has a shitty deck too... BUT, sometimes a person SHINES when they have to deal with hardships...we shall see.

How much time have you spent there? Until you do a tour then your 'right' answer is no better than mine. I've never been there so I have no idea what it's really all about. But when I am talking to someone who has been there and he really believes what they're doing is necessary then it's certainly not my place to tell him otherwise. Just like the times I've heard that we shouldn't be there from the soldiers. It's not my place to disagree with them either. But it's very immature and simplistic for you to make a statement like that. The whole point of this is that there was no way to satisfy everyone with any decision he made. And I can't even believe some people are stupid enough to think that there was any kind of simple answer for handling 9-11.
