Shoe-Hurling Iraqi Becomes a Folk Hero

Obama would have taken it right upside the head and we would have never heard about it.

Yeah, damn Arab media with their liberal democratic bias. lol.

Who throws a shoe, honestly?

YouTube - random task fight scene (austin powers) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIwLJtqoxBs)

The wonders of Bruno Magli style shoe-juitsu.

Got to commend W on his quick reflexes.

Haha, I thought the exact same thing when I saw the clip. Bob and weave!

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball!

You kidding? With his mind, he would automatically redirected the shoe back to the orginal thrower and it would have landed with a comprehensive health care package.

And he would have probably landed a sweet realestate deal from Rezko!

This must be a first, a President getting a shoe tossed at his dome? This could only happen to W.

Throwing shoes. What an advanced culture these Arabs have. The incident put me in mind of Kipling:

"...Take up the White Man's burden--
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
'Why brought he us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?'..."


etc. etc.

I can't think of any reason why spitting on someone is more advanced than throwing your shoes at someone. Clearly if you wanted to insult Bush throwing your shoes at him was the best option.
