This makes the last eight years almost worthwhile. Almost.
-
hey Baholicious - he is your President and that is a direct insult on America.No matter your politics, we should not condone any outsider insulting our President in any way.
If Saddam were still there, that journalist would already have been executed.
-
I kinda dont blame the guy. Afterall we lost over 4,000 soldiers and I’m sure counteless Iraqis. This war is/was unwarranted.
-
I love how the president of Iraq looks distinctly bored the whole time. He sort of half-heartedly tries to bat away the second shoe, but still looks pretty darned bored.
Bush has decent reflexes for an old drunk. I get the sense he’s dodged stuff thrown at him a lot.
-
Excellent idea, creative, fast, effective (well, semi-effective, he didn’t actually get Bush) - that guy is top notch! I wonder if we will now all have to go on planes in and out of the USA in socks only.
I must add, though, that I was amazed at W’s fast reflexes. I guess when you only have two synapses in your brain, it doesn’t take that long for them to find each other.
-
@Anna or could be Laura’s given him a lot of practice over the years.
-
There’s your Iraq ‘Legacy of Triumph’ you smirking, squinting midget egomaniacal despotic moron.
-
Serves the asshat right.
-
Good summation Dante.
Reminds me a bit of Tom Cruise of late. Although, I have to say that I just watched his interview and he didn’t come off nearly as crazy as usual and was *almost* normal sounding.
-
Two synapses…OMG. That was a great one, Anna - thanks for that.
I was kinda surprised that Bush replied with a bit of humor - “All I can report is that it was a size 10″. I didn’t expect him to be able to respond with some wit. Perhaps, Anna, he has three synapses - but I’ll stop at three.
-
I’ve said many things about President Bush over the past eight years. . . ‘ninja-like agility” has never come to mind.
-
@disgusted: no, he isn’t my president. I am Canadian and that remedial individual dragged my country, and the rest of the world, right along to where we’re at right now.
Insulting the Lunatic President is not the same as insulting America the country or its citizens. He took his place on the world stage, did so with a sense of entitlement and contempt for its citizens, and the world has the right to condemn him for it.
-
Disgusted - it was a pair of clod-hoppers; not a SCUD missile, daisy-cutter or 10 years of sanctions. I’m sure Dubya’s feelings weren’t that badly hurt. “If Saddam were still there, that journalist would already have been executed. ” To be fair, I’m pretty sure that if Saddam was still there neither Bush nor the journalist would be
Fair play to George for having a sense of humour about it though. He’s an odd fish - he generally seems likeable. Until he gets to do something political then he veers into the realm of infuriating.
@anastacia… lookit, the Iraqis have been dealing with some form of armed agression in one form or another since the 19th century - he probably DID think that the Flying Felonious Footwear was boring!
Oh… and Hugh Jackman’s wife is talkin’ crazy talk!
-
@the Old KC: glad you got a laugh out of that, I’m always happy when I can manage to put a smile on someone’s face. I’m not sure about your three synapses theory though: someone from his staff probably advised him to say that. Irony is something that takes more mind power than I think W capable off.
@disgusted: you are seriously funny, thanks for making me laugh out loud! “A direct insult to America”? Puhleeze! He insulted Bush (and in my opinion, righteously so) and I think it’s very dangerous to not be able to make a distinction between a president and the country he represents. They are not one and the same, even if he is sent (or thinks he is) to represent the country. He is still his own malicious, moron gnome of a person.
-
way to go out with a bang, Dubya!
the perfect wrap-up to an awful 2 terms. -
I loved it. Too bad W was so good at ducking.
I don’t consider him my president. And I consider him to be a direct insult on the United States. He can’t leave soon enough for me.
Edit to add: Mairead, I have to agree totally on Hugh Jackman’s wife. With that attitude, she doesn’t deserve him!! Give him to meeeee!!!
-
What I found disturbing was that the Secret Service weren’t fast enough to get to Bush for the second shoe. Watch the tape and there’s like three beats between shoe-throws.
Don’t give a fig about Bush, but I hope that the Secret Service are a lot quicker with threats against Obama.
Re: Jackman vs. Pitt: The Sexiest Man Death Match… what in the world is Deborah thinking of? She’s got Hugh Jackman for the love of all that is Holy!
-
Chris Cornell is so effing beautiful, it hurts.
Oh, and he isn’t the only post-grunge survivor. I’m pretty sure Dave Grohl, Eddie Vedder, and Mike McCready aint working for peanuts.
-
Bush bought the world together when it cheered the man who threw the shoes
He was lucky it was only a shoe
hope the thrower isn’t beaten and tortured
-
***Add: Jerry Cantrell***
Blasphemy to leave him out on my first comment.
-
@Kaiser: you are so very, very right. I also wondered what took the secret service so long and thought: “they’d better be a lot quicker on the draw when Obama is President”. And by on the draw, I don’t mean actually shooting if someone throws a shoe, just to be absolutely clear about that.
I think Obama should get some ninjas as personal bodyguards. That’d be so cool.
-
Wow, that was hilarious. He is fast moving, that’s for sure! I loved the shocked look on Bush’s face!
-
Gotta hand it to that guy. He summed up the entire Bush presidency with two shoes.
-
i know that i should not find this to be hysterical because the man is after all a PRESIDENT. but dayum if that wasn’t side-splitting. i’m glad the shoes did not hit him, not because i have any liking for this idiot but because it’s the near-miss that pushes this incident into the category of humor. you just gotta love the look on Dubya’s face as he ducks instinctively. i knew he was a lame duck but dayum if i ever expected that to be taken so literally. what a way to end your career. that journalist is now a worldwide hero now. LOL!!!!
-
Disgusted: let’s get something straight–he’s not my president and NEVER WAS. I am an American, but what that guy did was aimed squarely at BUSH. Not the whole country. BUSH. It was a grave insult to Bush, who has caused untold death and destruction in Iraq. He’s lucky he’s only had a couple of shoes thrown at him, for crying out loud.
-
damn he moved so fast!
secret service really slept on the job! -
Amen. That is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Cracked me up. He has done more to Eff up this country than anyone thought possible.
-
He wasn’t elected. He was installed in a bloodless judicial coup d’etat. He is not now, nor will he ever be, a true president.
Bush is cancer on my country and a disgrace to the world.
There aren’t words enough in this or any other language to describe the utter contempt with which this knuckle-dragging troglodyte should be held.
The shoe insult is merely a good place to start.
-
LMAO Thats how I’m going to remember president Bush lol! The first President to get a shoe thrown at him lol. Hilarious. Nothing suits him better. That was fantastic. The man is literally lowar than dirt and that guy had the balls to do what all of us have been wanting to do for a long time. lol.
That man was NEVER my president. The insult is directed at him and only him. Anybody else who wants to blow it out of poportion and be a drama queen about it, is stupid.
-
Funniest clip ever. I am still on the floor. Bush really deserves it. That smirk on his face can drive a saint to murder.
-
Syko summed it up perfectly!!
-
Anyone who thinks they can read the mind of some crazy shoe-throwing @$sh01e in Iraq, and says so, is actually the stupid one.
-
if that guy is brave enough to throw the shoe, you’d think he’d be man enough to take the beating without crying like a little bitch
-
Unfortunately, the U. S. personnel who have paid the ultimate price didn’t have the opportunity to dodge bullets or roadside bombs, ,then make light of it.
-
ah, the bush legacy.
i will always remember george h.w. as the one that puked on the lap of japan’s prime minister & dubya the one who got shoes thrown at his head.

I’ve just got to say that he deserves every bit of derision and malice aimed toward him in that country.
Also that Bush has the reflexes of a cat, rawr.
