President Bush Hit With Shoes

[Crusader]

His legacy forever linked to an unpopular war, President George W. Bush flew under intense security to Iraq on Sunday where he called the nearly six-year conflict hard but necessary to protect the United States and give Iraqis hope. "The war is not over," he declared.

 

Bush got a size-10 reminder of the intense opposition to his policies when a man threw two shoes at him - one after another - during a news conference with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

 

"This is the end!" shouted the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

 

Bush ducked both throws. Neither leader was hit.

 

"All I can report is a size 10," the president joked.

The thread title is misleading as the shoes missed the mark.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

And, yeah, if the secret service is supposed to be so good, how on earth did that guy get the second shoe fired off? I mean, it's not even like he had them both in his hands or something, he had to reach over and get them off!

[Crusader]

They obviously don't care anymore. Which is terrible, the guy was a douche but that doesn't mean you should let him die.

That .gif is hysterical. I love it. I still wish the shoes hadn't missed. And of course the Secret Service was slow...would you want to get shot for that nipplehead? Not enough money on earth as far as I'm concerned.
