That was hilarious. Made my day when I got up this morning and saw it.

After reading, I now know it's not a random temper tantrum as in Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt, according to the article the OP linked.

I have a questions for long and I read some articles about it, but I never got through.


Could it be possible both Bush get prosecuted as War Criminals? Although in addition to these two, there are many others on the list as well. I also understand there isnt any absolute justice in the world and only losers of wars get hanging. I still want to know.

I think he still works out and stays in pretty good shape. It's like he saw it coming a mile away and just slid to the side at the last minute. Well done. If only the hamster running around on a wheel in his brain could move as fast...

It was pretty cool that he seemed to smile as he dodged them ... Cool

(I bet those shoes could fetch a tidy sum on ebay - or at least end up in an exhibit at the Smithsonian ...)

Gee-dub probably can't wait to end his presidency so he can throw some baseballs around. I bet he's as bored as all get-out giving speeches all of the time. He used to own/manage a club, if memory serves. Crap, he almost looked like he enjoyed the opportunity to dodge something! Look at the grin on his face!

I know most people despise the guy, but everyone who gets to know him (even political enemies) say he's enjoyable, very personable, and loves to have fun.
