I saw that, it was an epic dodge, first i saw it on youtube then the news. They said the body guards couldve reacted faster. They should've reacted faster, like what if instead of a shoe he threw a knife ( just saying ) it wouldnt be good if a second one was threw into of him. But of course bush would hopefully dodge the knife . That was a cool dodge though. After that the prime minister tried protecting him from the second shoe if you didnt see. He put his hand in front of bushes face.
well if you try this in you home country (U.S.) you would be died and if any put you in a MRI ( like House HAHAHA) by by MRO and any one in a 200 yards radius
On a more serious note, it is actually the deepest form of insult in Arabic culture. On the surface it may seem like a laughing matter but it symbolises the growing animosity towards Americans among the more liberal minded Iraqi populus. Bush laughing it off shows he is a fool and how out of touch he is.
Yeah... Bush was pretty oblivious to the gravity a shoe being thrown at him in relation to Middle Eastern culture. Of course, so was I before this happened. Personally I think he'll get off with a slap on the wrist. I mean, they keep saying we went there to liberate Iraq and bring democracy. That was free speech in action!
Also,I'm kind of thinking G.W. could take Obama in a fight now. He's spry.
When I saw that I was like HOLY CRAP, WHAT A DODGE BY BUSH!?!? That was cool. That guy deserves to go to jail for throwing those puny size 10's at Bush.
