bush got hit with a shoe
 

yep.

Reports are now showing that the shoe, in fact, did not actually hit Bush.

"This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" shouted the protester in Arabic, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

for posterity

Okay good found a video: http://realtalkny.uproxx.com/2008/12...george-w-bush/

It looks like the second shoe hit his hand at least. That's something!

His response was pretty non-sensical, too. He was definitely taken aback, though he was pretending not to be.

He smiles at it. Haha, what a moron. The shoe thrower should have practiced beforehand. I mean, he should at least be able to hit him with one size 10 from 20 feet away.

"This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" is a great quote. Probably will be one of those internet mee-mee things. It reminds me, vaguely, of Frank Booth's classic line, "Do you know what a love letter is? It's a kiss from a fucking gun, fucker." ... Wow... If only someone had said that!

I'm surprised it wasn't a sandal, considering it was a sand niggra....

Ooops...

I didn't mean it !!!

"Who throws a shoe? I mean, honestly?"


Hahahahaha! I laughed so fucking hard when I saw that video. Awesome.

Hahaha. On the website with the video: "HOW CAN HE THROW"

Boy, this is just a bunch of Internet jokes all in one.

All I've got to say: that man has horrible aim.

shoegaze

no wonder we don't send baseball scouts to the middle east. haha, Bush is thinking :"dude can't throw for shit!"

Bush: 1
dude who can't throw for shit: 0

I was just thinking about baseball because the other podium guy makes a girly swipe for the 2nd shoe. He could totally play shortstop for the Royals or Blue Jays.

You must throw a shoe first before giving it to Alex's Trip again.

I lol'd at the situation.

I laughed so hard when I saw it on the news. My dad and I were watching it like "wait for it....wait for it....*shoe hits* *laughter*"

Just imagine if it had been a grenade. Or two.

i thought this thread was titled

Bus got hit by a taco

So high, man ^

I'm susprised the shoeless guy didn't get shot down

It seemed like a good dodge, to be honest. It all happened so quickly, and twice.

srsly?

yeah, the old man moves quick, damn.

It is a sign of respect and devotion in Iraq to throw your shoes at somebody. That desert sand is HOT and FILTHY, you wouldn't throw away your shoes unless someone had really earned it.

Poor guy is probably being tortured severely as we speak.

man why didnt it get him square in the face, it was a good throw!

anyway, easy to duck cos it's a shoe and not very aerodynamic, plus he's an expert at ducking (questions).

muntather al-zaidi--man of the year?

Pres. Bush reported it was a size 10. what a dumbass, seriously.
too sad the Iraqi journalist will most likely go to jail for like 2 years. he's one brave motherfucker.

anyway, this situation is so! fucking! hilarious!

Apparently he risks 7 years of detention, but his tv and other media are defending him saying "that was just a way to express the freedom of speech/opinion USA wants to grant us" or something to that effect..

rightfully so...

i mean the dude is a fucking hero, already. free the dude. fuck.

yeah, and 200 + lawyers do want to defend the guy in court, for free.

can't wait to see what gets thrown at Barak come Jan 20th, and whether his reflexes are as good as Georgey's.

ha yeah

let's get it on

in the arab culture, taking off your shoes and throwing them at someone is the utmost in DISRESPECT. No one on crack ass white folks merica news seems to be talking about that aspect of it.

Because it's too bloody obvious, perhaps?

nope, because american news are aimed at the level of 12 year olds.

too much info about other cultures makes the populace "confused" and "scared"

sarramkrop, it is only obvious to those who already know. I would venture that 95% of the USA population has no idea what taking off yr shoes and throwing them at someone MEANS, and if the method by which info is disseminated,the news media, does not cover it, even in passing, those 95% will never ever know

hahahaha

I mean, Rob, seriously, go out and start throwing your shoes at random people, then post about their ractions on this board. This is just so fucking ridiculous.
