General Chat / Pres. Bush + Flying Shoe = Nonstop Hillarity

http://www.washingto...s-flying-shoes/

I just thought this was hillarious. It really shows you how much people hate Bush. And in my personal opinion, I think that incedent right there proves that we need to get the hell out of Iraq.

Eh can't upload.

Eh, I'm cool with Bush today. He gave me an extra holiday.

Actually, I feel kind of sorry for him, since he's done anyway. Granted, I still disagree with him, but at this point it's beating a dead horse.

I fail to see the humor.

I know Bush made some pretty big fuckups, but what President hasn't? It's not like Obama isn't going to be 100x worse than Bush. I personally think that anyone with that much power is bound to fuck something up sometime or other.

Being a journalism and having attended a number of press conferences I have seen shoes thrown at people lots of times, no big deal.

j/k... I lmao'ed most of this morning watching it on youtube, linkage.

who throws a shoe? honestly..

most people...

You need to take into account that throwing shoes historically is the worst insult in the believes if Iraqi people.

"Soles of shoes are considered the ultimate insult in Arab culture -- after Saddam Hussein's statue was toppled in Baghdad in April 2003, many people beat its face with their soles."

Erm, is it just me or is everyone's reaction kinda slow? Did they not care? I thought the CIA goons where supposed to blow to pieces anyone that goes near a pressie.

Guess not.

geewhzz, i appreciated that.

As did I!

i didn't think that 'shoe' would fly over so many people's heads.

You fight like a woman...


How did he miss him from there? Bad aim ftw.

He had a pretty sick dodge on the first one actually. I like how they train Secret Service to take a bullet for the President, but a guy throws a shoe and he gets a second one off too!. I mean, I can understand being surprised by a sudden shoe throw, but you have to know the second one is coming. Unimpressive...

2.5 second response time? Way too slow if you ask me.

Me and my friend were disecting this video during lunch yesterday. Secret service actually had a hold of the guy before he launched the second shoe. Right after he released it, they had him down.
