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!

Can we get this guy a position in the next Cabinet somehow?

Maybe Dubya should have been a dodgeball coach instead of US Prez. Maybe his life would be more fulfilling, if he did something he was actually good at :P

Wow crack team of Secret Service men he's got there. I guess shoe throwing wasn't included in training.
Yes. Aren't they supposed to dive across and be able to take a bullet or in this case a shoe?

Hey, I'm the first to mock and criticize and hate Bush, but this is not okay.
**********************************************
I agree.
The sight of a shoe flying toward him actually registered in his brain and he was quick enough to dodge it! Impressive for Mr. Bush!

OT: I was reading this article about Mob activity in Italy and they came out with this genius new idea of hiding guns. Yeah, yeah I know guns are bad but whoever came up with this thing was pretty smart, they created a gun that looks like a cellphone and you press talk or one of the buttons and it shoots out of the antenna.

This is the same country who will stone a man to death if he is caught with alcohalol or pornagraphy, will either slit the nosterals or also stone to death a women who is caught cheating on her husband, will cut off the hands of a thief, split the tongue of a liar, burn out the eyes of a person if caught looking "lustfully" at the opposite sex, I am sure this guy will be in a world of pain in a very short while
It's about 50 degrees at SFO but about 40 degrees in the FiDi (Financial District). The wind whipping through the skyscraper canyons could freeze the tits off of Pammy.
Then it rains ... and rain and wind feel like needles of ice.

"This is a farewell kiss, dog.” I'm sorry, but that sounds like Street Gang lingo. "W" is a total street name, This is gang warfare. That "reporter" knew he could not carry guns into the newsroom, a shoe being his only weapon. I feel another TT99 screenplay coming on........

At the next press conference journalists shouldn't be allowed to wear clothes of any type. At this point anything could be used as a weapon.
At least it would make for a more interesting crowd of journalists.

Um, I believe throwing a shoe is a sign of disrespect in ANY culture.
Maybe I'm smart enough to work for Bloomberg.
On the other hand, shouting, "This is a farewell kiss, dog" is totally hot.

If only he had thrown the shoe when Bush was shaking hands...
And love the Iraqi PM's half-hearted attempt to grab the second.

I know this is the most offensive thing I can ever say here, but bush really does have class--a true gentleman. I'm speaking of the way he defused the situation and kept his cool.
Having said that, he is destroying my country and I wish he had never been elected. I preferred our crass and vulgar president who did a better job as president though he had a soap opera for a personal life and was a compulsive liar.

I guarantee they had metal detectors outside the Iraq briefing. If TSA has a good reason to make us take off our shoes, it's not cause we're going to attack anyone with them.
Raining up there yet? SoCal is supposed to get dumped on tonite.
'honestly,who throws a shoe?!'
ahhaha that was my first reaction too. I was wondering how many other people had posted it.
I think it's funny that they report that throwing a shoe at someone is an insult in their culture. I don't think it's exactly a compliment in anyone's culture.
I like that Bush just kinda stands there after they're thrown, doesn't duck or anything. lol. My reaction if I was president would be to hide under that desk until I figured out what was going on!
Now if that had been a size 12 or 13 shoe I would demand to do a body search of that impertinent reporter. Just to see what kind of weapons he may be packing. *smirk*
