Lamest evar.

Some Iraqi journalist threw two shoes at GWB.

No one was hurt.

The shoes were sized 10.

Makes Squeaky Fromme look downright successful.

The second international incident in my lifetime involving footwear, the other being Khrushchev's shoe-banging tirade at the UN many, many years ago.

The smell from the shoe could've been lethal!

That was bad, Andy.... Very very bad.


I always thought you were the wind beneath my wing tips, but if you are going to keep loafing around and post crap like that, you may have to give yourself the boot.

I was most impressed with Dubya's reflexes!!
He was quick at fending off the flying shoes.

I hope they cut that guys hands off!!!

They are demanding his release, as show throwing is his way of having freedom of speach! Gimme' a break!

He threw his shoes at one of the world's most powerful leaders! (at least for another month) No respect!

In hindsight, GWB laughing it off after the fact didn't look very good. Not a good idea to laugh at other's passion. From everything I've read it seems like the show thrower speaks for the majority of the citizens there.

At least they dragged him out of the room before beating the crap out of him.

The entire Arab world is demanding the reporters immediate release and that reporter is now a hero.... now, the Iraqi citizens are throwing their shoes at our soldiers.

I have no idea why we are in that country... Americans don't want us to be there and the Iraqi citizen does not want us there..... What a freakn huge ass mistake.
