Geroge Bush has shoe thrown at him in Iraq, not big news, but check out that dodge, pretty nifty...

Pretty good dodge. Expected of a dodgy president. :)

Could you shed some light on how the Secret Service had ANYTHING do do with this?  At all?

Because if that had been a nade, we wouldn't have a president right now?

Apparently throwing a shoe is the worst insult possible in Iraq.

Damn fine way to end his presidency, if you ask me.

The secret service should have theoretically prevented that from happening

I hope they let the guy go.

Were to begin....

The obvious:

Well that's 2 things Bush has dodged now.  The draft and a shoe. 


The Sick:

Where was Richard Reid when we needed him?


The perverse:

Did he keep it?


The obvious:

Was it a sandal?

Did anyone else hear the Matrix bullet-time sound in their head?

It would have been awesome to see a secret service goon leap in front of the Bush and take a shoe to the torso.

Secret Service Screwups: Vol. I

Aside from pulling out a Glock and shooting it from the air mid flight i'm not exactly sure what they could have done to prevent that :P  I suppose in the future they could force people to remove their footwear.

Just for the comedic value, that would be awsome.

Oh wait . . . I'm going into journalism.
