Wow that was pretty funny

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
I don't find it funny at all. Where the heck was Secret Service? :fl After the first shoe, SS should have intervened.

Rockestone 12-14-2008 05:47 PM

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
I was actually thinking the same thing. It seemed everyone was slow to react when he threw the first shoe.

no, that was F U N N Y! I guess they don't like the man a whole lot in that part of the world. Meh, it is what it is.

Believe me...I've been in that region before and had a shoe thrown at me. It's more like a sandle, not like a Nike cross country shoe. That's all I can say about that.:rolleyes:

Bush has +4 Evasion obviously.

i agree, the SS should have been all over that guy after the first shoe:fl

I believe it's an insult in some cultures.

I love the look on his face after the first one.

"WTF?! Did he just throw a SHOE??!!"

In that area of the world it is considered to be the highest of insults.

Did you see the size of those shoes? Those fu*#ers looked like Doc Marteens.

Thought Bush did a good job dodging! It did seem to take the folks a little long to respond - glad it wasn't a more lethal projectile. :(

ucla695 12-14-2008 08:26 PM

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
I saw it on the news. Bush has some good moves. I'm surprised that the guy was able to be able to throw another one without being swarmed by secret service or someone else.

Dennis569 12-14-2008 08:34 PM

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
Did I hear the guy yell like a little girl?
Seems like this type of person has to be crying or screaming.
Don't tase me bro!

Seriously ... he looked like he was used to it. I wonder if Laura has a temper?

Who knows what was on the shoes .. could have been anthrax.

They should have shot the bastard in the head 0.3 second before he threw the first shoe.

Ashcan Bill 12-14-2008 11:05 PM

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
I was surprised that not only didn't they immediately swarm the thrower, but that nobody jumped in front of Bush. Maybe they aren't trained to take a shoe? Good thing the Pres is quick.

I suspect analysis will show those were special tactical shoes.

Look for congress to pass shoe control legislation soon. ;)

Waynegro1 12-14-2008 11:19 PM

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
I didn't find it funny at all. It's not that it was Bush either, if it would of been Obama it would of made me just as mad. I don't find an attack on a US president funny, even if it was just a shoe. My ma used to get mad once in a while and throw her shoe at me and I'm here to tell you, those SOB's hurt.
I would love to show this guy the business end of my wing tips.

Thanks for the video though, I haven't seen this on the tube.

:r:r:r Now THAT is funny.

W did pretty good at ducking though. That was more of a boot than a shoe, and that guy had a pretty good arm!

Everyone that was in that room would have walked through a metal detector. When the President gives a speech, he usually has people in the background with him and intermixed in that group is the SS. In this case the SS would have been to his front or behind the reporters.

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
Guy who threw it should have had a third eye in the center of his forehead before he threw the second shoe.:fl

HK3- 12-15-2008 04:42 AM

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
I think whatever the punishment would have been for doing something like that to their president should be inforced by their gov't on the shoe thrower.

Like cut his feet off so he doesn't wear shoes anymore.

DonWeb 12-15-2008 05:39 AM

Re: Bush gets the shoe!
 
On first sight - I found it funny.
Then, I thought about the lack of security.


+4 Evasion :tu

Bush must be learning some ninja moves from the Secret Service. He dodged two left hooks...and I always thought Putin could take him:rolleyes:

Wish he had a third foot.

If the shoe would have hit him it would have done some damage. At the very least he should lose a hand or two.

First thought: That really hurt! I'm gonna have a lump there, you idiot! Who throws a shoe? Honestly! You fight like a woman!

Second thought: wow, took them a long time to react...
