What a waste of a perfectly good pair of shoes.

Here's Iraqis taking the shoe to Saddam.

I'm American, but if somebody threw a shoe at me here, I'd be insulted lol. I have been slapped before and having a shoe flung at me wouldn't exactly be any better

If bush had caught the shoe and then nailed the guy in the head with it, I would have to respect him, so im glad he didn't.

*and I'm aware of the whole shoe thing being super-insulting, it's still a lame and childish way to get a point across*

No it's not.

I applaud the guy for having the balls to make his statement. :thumbsup:

By throwing a show like a 5-year old? Yeah, that's something worth respecting :disgust:

I guess Speg and 5 year olds identify really well with each other.


And Iraqis don't hate us, just this moron. Most of the journalists stood up to apologize for this barbarian's behavior.

I'd stand up to apologize too if one if one of us threw a shoe at the man who bombed the living shit out of my country.

This is priceless. Perfect way to go out. Last visit to Iraq, and a new pres sworn in in a few weeks. This incident just sums up Bushes term as prez. Too bad he missed. It would have been priceless to see Bush get clopped in the head with a shoe.

Some people just need to get beaten as kids so maybe they'll have some respect later on.

Unfortunately for you, I doubt anything will important will happen to you other than your eventual death.

Surely you jest. What has Bush done in the last 8 years that wasn't a total fuckup? Plus your last sentence didn't even make sense. Bush deserves the lack of respect he is getting.

Not it's not. It is pretty insulting ... and the whole world sees it.

Meh, it doesn't seem like an insult to me. I know it's cultural, but what's the point if the effect is lost on the people it's supposed to send a message to.

As others have stated, this renegade shoe thrower will be pounded into submission in some Iraqi prison by Bubba for the next 5-10 years. I hope his shoe flinging was worth it.

Nah, As soon as Bush is out the Whitehouse they'll let him out. Maybe Obama will request his release, no, I am not saying that because of Obama's name either. Its not like the shoes were metal plated sketchers. Although that would have hit the mark I bet.

I'm not going to even grace that response drummed up only by someone so pathetically bigoted as yourself, with an argument.

What's your problem? Where is the bigotry? What? Sad that the Texan President is a retarded failure and will go down in history as one of, if not THE #1, worse president this country has ever had?

I wonder if all shoes will now be banned when the prez makes public speeches.

Soon all press conferences will have to be in the nude.

First shoe could be excused (slim chance), but the second?
Ever worse if the journalist cleared it first with the Secret Service. That would be treason.
