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.

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!

I suspect analysis will show those were special tactical shoes.

Look for congress to pass shoe control legislation soon.

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.

Guy who threw it should have had a third eye in the center of his forehead before he threw the second 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.

On first sight - I found it funny.
Then, I thought about the lack of security.

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

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.

to bad it wasnt a bigger shoe

ban him from all shoe stores for life ?

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...

except Bush himself, he reacted pretty quick and ducked in time.
