I still don't like GWB, but he's got a good duck-reflex.

Makes me wonder about the security though. Presumably those present had passed through metal detectors etc, but when the attack came, security took longer to react than I would have expected. (Hee hee, not that an Australian is in a position to offer criticism of presidential security.)

He played baseball in college. He was again demonstrating his fielding abilities.

Our politicians have things thrown at them occasionally - pies, eggs etc. I find that funny too. I would if it were thrown at Obama too (although I'd question how he managed to insult the thrower ).

I guess I'm just childish like that.

Who throws a shoe?

If you listen carefully, you can hear the shoe-thrower yelling "Don't tase me bro!" in Arabic.

Washington Post reporters prepare for next Bush news conference.

(Bush'll have to start meeting the press in mosques from now on...)

Or do you get your shoes returned after you've thrown them? If so, it doesn't really seem right. A bit like being an indian giver. You know...giving something then expecting it back later...

Worldwide is a new display in support of that shoe thrower. Notice the many cars with shoes now hanging from the mirror? Due to the run on shoes, stores are no longer offering Christmas discounts on shoes and gift certificates. In honor of the new George Jr economy, people all over the world are now going shoeless. Even the Pope is talking about having your soul reevaluated.

Aliantha · 12-16-2008, 04:09 PM

I don't think that's exactly support for the shoe thrower. lol More like a lot of western people seeing the funny side of it and sharing the mirth.

What's tw gonna do come January?

Al-Zeidi may have also been motivated by what a colleague described as a boastful, showoff personality.

"He tried to raise topics to show that nobody is as smart as he is," said Zanko Ahmed, a Kurdish journalist who attended a journalism training course with al-Zeidi in Lebanon.

Ahmed recalled that al-Zeidi spoke glowingly of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose followers organized protests Monday to demand his release.

"Regrettably, he didn't learn anything from the course in Lebanon, where we were taught ethics of journalism and how to be detached and neutral," Ahmed said.
