Like the guy or not, he handled it VERY well. Pretty amazing, actually. I'm surprised the secret service guys didn't leap on the thrower even quicker!
George Bush Rocks and he handled it well, Imagine if it was Saddam Hussein.. or some other dictator.. it would be interesting to see what happens to that clown
He shouted this is the end. What exactly was he expecting? His shoes to kill george bush. Death by loafers! I'm not sure what makes you think "let me take my shoes of and throw them at G Dub, that'll learn him"
I saw this on the news, and started cracking up! I couldn't help think of Austin Powers when the asian guys hits him with a shoe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5oKEVqQJg "I mean, Come On, who throws a shoe?" J
I believe it is something to do with hitting someone with shoes being very disrespectful. If I remember correctly the locals began throwing shoes at the toppled statue of Sadam Hussein.
I'm amazed the secret service were so slow to respond that he got off a second shot (shoe). I thought these guys were supposed to throw themselves in front of anything coming at the prez?
Impossible for Geedub to be a secret ninja. Secret ninja society requires 65 IQ as a minimum to join.
Waving the soles of your shoes at people in that part of the world is considered an insult to the person. It's kinda like "flipping someone the bird" here. So throwing your shoes at someone is good as flipping them the bird and taking a swing at them. I'm really surprised this guy launched two shoes at Dubbya and yet Secret Service was still nowhere to be seen.
dumb piece of **** should be glad he's able to do something like that without getting executed for it.
What ever happened to that one guy that flew a penis shaped helicopter in Russia or something like that?
I was switching channels last night, and it was on VH1's Best Year Ever. It was hilarious the way they narrated it. I'm not touching penis copter. It's good too, b/c the guards couldn't catch it, since it went higher, plus they didn't want to touch it.
