honestly, who throws his shoe?
In a spectacular turn of events at an Iraq press conference featuring President Bush on Sunday, an Iraqi ‘journalist’ threw both of his shoes at W’s head. So much goes through my head when I see something like this.
1. Cat-like reflexes by our Commander in Chief saved him from an embarrassing black eye through the remainder of his presidency.
2. “Honestly, who throws his shoe?” - Austin Powers to Random Task
3. Showing the bottom of one’s shoe in Arab culture is a sign of huge disrespect, and is soemthing Westerners are often warned about before traveling. Throwing one’s shoe at someone’s head is about as disrespectful as slingshotting a handful of human shit into an open mouth.
4. Not sure the Secret Service have been trained for this sort of attack.
5. President Bush: “All I can report is it is a size 10.” (At least he still has a sense of humor.
6. I would bet a lot of money that this journalist will never be heard from again.
7. I am SOOO happy there is video.
Still proud to be an American.
