Angry Iraqi throws shoes at Bush in Baghdad

[Dayner]

btw .. before the throws start , bush say "thank you" in arabic ..the reporter said "this is your goodbye kiss you dog" in arabic

 

[Crumpet]

lol epic. Shame they didn't hit him.

 

[Zyndara]

I mean who throws a shoe? Honestly...?

 

[Acutie]

He had already thrown the grenates earlier.

 

[Skaw]

How about that unbiased reporting. Nothing like throwing shoes at someone in a culture where it's an insult to tell people you don't lean towards any specific ideas.

 

[Halifirien]

That made me smile. Eggs or a pie would've been better, but shoes will do.

Counting down the days until that asshole is out of office.

; )

That guy has horrible aim, he wasn't that far away either.

 

[Zyndara]

I may have died laughing if he actually hit him. I could see playing that over and over and it never getting old.

Least it wasn't a cupcake!

Better than a run-by fruiting.

You fight like a woman! /AustinPowers

They've been showing that clip on FoxNews all morning, lol. Both the shoe toss and the scene from Austin Powers. Its awesome.

If he would've gotten hit and like, flipped back and landed on his ass... god that would have been awesome.

I'm just surprised about how quickly Bush ducked.

I'm just surprised about how quickly Bush ducked.

I'm not. He's been ducking responsibility for years. All that training comes in handy. :bb:

[Sabia]

Haha Halif...that made me laugh!

And Apparently it's a huge insult in Iraq to throw shoes at someone - big sign of disrespect. Hope the guy doesn't spend the next 50 years in jail :/

 

[Mirewen]

lol. When I worked at a resort a while back, one of my coworkers had an Iraqi throw his shoes at him. Now I can tell Nate that it was a sign of contempt.

It is a shame though, the only person he hit was Bush's Pres Secretary. Smack dab in the eye.

LOL. One deserved zing after another.

 

[Ecks]

I'm amazed at just how many secret service members just appeared out of thin air. o.o They were a bit slow though, if the dude had somehow had a gun Bush would be toast. Then again, with the guys aiming coupled with Bush's dodging skills, he might have missed with that too.
