The Braves need to sign that fellow. That shoe had some serious heat!!

12-14-2008, 06:44 PM

Wow that was pretty funny

elderboy02 · 12-14-2008, 06:46 PM

I don't find it funny at all. Where the heck was Secret Service?

After the first shoe, SS should have intervened.

Rockestone · 12-14-2008, 06:47 PM

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

boonedoggle · 12-14-2008, 06:50 PM

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.

Seriously, who throws a 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.

BigFrank · 12-14-2008, 07:07 PM

Bush has +4 Evasion obviously.

12-14-2008, 07:09 PM

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

WyGuy · 12-14-2008, 07:10 PM

Pretty quick for an older guy.

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.

SmokeyJoe · 12-14-2008, 08:59 PM

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, 09:26 PM

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.

12-14-2008, 09:34 PM

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 · 12-15-2008, 12:05 AM

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.
