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

I was actually thinking the same thing. It seemed everyone was slow to react when he threw the first shoe.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
