Bush narrowly escapes an assassination attempt.
 
...From a shoe.

:
BAGHDAD — His legacy forever linked to an unpopular war, President George W. Bush visited Iraq under intense security Sunday and declared that the long, hard conflict is necessary to protect the United States and give Iraqis hope. "The war is not over," he said.

Bush got a size-10 reminder of the fervent opposition to his policies when a man threw two shoes at him _ one after another _ during a news conference with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "This is the end!" shouted the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

Bush ducked both throws. Neither leader was hit. In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt; Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes after U.S. marines toppled it to the ground after the 2003 invasion.

"All I can report," Bush joked of the incident, "is a size 10."



Honestly, who throws a shoe?

I admire the shoe-thrower.

Funny how cultures can have such polar opposite views of the same activity.

What a side splitting joke.

That needs to be edited and mixed with the Austin Powers clip of Random Task.

Hey now, just because he's a stain on a human history doesn't mean we have to be all mean to him

I have to admit, he was quick with dodging it. He must be used to shoes being thrown at him.

Have you noticed how Bush's jokes are crap, but his serious speeches are hilarious? "It isn't pollution that's harrming the envoronment - it's the impurities in the air and water." That one was gold.

I have a book of Bushisms. Its awesome. He was and is such a klutz.

Wil 12-15-2008 09:29 AM
Although I don’t know the specifics, as I understand it not all Bushisms are actually word-for-word Bush quotes, but are ‘idioted up’.

Oddsville 12-15-2008 09:48 AM
Yes, they had to numb them down so peoples heads wouldn't explode.

I think that it's been done at this point. We are all ready to move on.

It hasn't been a blowjob!

I'm sorry. I couldn't resist.

Wil 12-22-2008 04:10 PM
Is this your new way of insulting and humiliating people? To apologize immediately afterwards and expect that to exonerate you? Well, whatever lets you keep doing it.

AlienMagi 12-23-2008 07:09 AM
