Bush attacked by shoes

shouldn't they blur the shoe like they do when ppl flip the bird... 😛

😛 Plus they were lanky beanpoles (although when Hearns cut off his 'fro his head was suddenly looking six times smaller...!!!

That would have been cool if Bush caught the shoe in his mouth, then spit it out and said, "Tastes like chicken."

LOLZ

True.

But he'd only f*** it up and it'd be in George W grammar....

If the chicken caught in the mouth, shoed the thing's bush out and said "Tastes like spit"...!!! 😉

Hell even Del Preston from Wayne's World 2 foresaw this medium of communicating disapproval:

"Well I took out the Tiger with a can of mace....But the shopkeeper and his son were a different story altogether...."
"I had to beat them to death with their own shoes..."

Every last person in that room was heavily inspected for shitty things and their background checked as much as could be done. They also have these "sniffing" machines that "smell" for chemicals (even precursor compounds that are completely lame until combined with another lame compound...the proper term is TOTALLY slipping my mind..is it binary explosive? that doesn't sound right) used in explosives, so even if the shoe was packed with something that would blow on impact (though there are waaaaaay better compounds today, something like nitro-glycerin)

However, it would have been quite awesome to see a secret serviceman jump, horizontally, across the trajectory path of the shoe while screaming, "I'LL SAVE YOU, PRESIDEEEE*thud*............. I'm aaaallllliiiiiive!"

That would have increased my pride in America right there. I would have been like, "Team America! F*** yeah!"

But yeah, I don't think the Secret Service is at fault there, you can't make a person that has public appearances totally safe, and...well, shoes aren't the most dangerous of weapons, to be fair.

if they cant block a shoe how are they expected to block a bullet..

i bet they were being reprimanded for the shoe incident.

I can understand the first shoe, the seconds, especially since he first took it off, should probably have been prevented.

It's just "America, **** yeah!". Awesome song though.

I am ashamed.

Unless you think the President should be surrounded in a nigh-indestructible bubble like the Pope at all times, there is/was no reason for the Secret Service to make anyone attending that conference remove their shoes, that is after initial inspection.

When it comes down to it, it was just a shoe, Bush might have received a black-eye, no need for the Secret Service to revamp their protocols.

I understand that and as an aside I'm not pro-bush just in case, but even if the dude threw an unsoaked dish sponge at bush, just even once, what does that say about how serious the office of the president of the u.s. is taken, to the world?

So this was more than just about a shoe.

The secret service should've shot that guy 172 times in 2 seconds right while he was yelling and getting ready to launch that first shoe, on live tv as a counter show of force or demonstartion that'd at the same time ask anyone else to dare try something like that again.

If he had gotten shot America's approval raiting across the globe would have gone down even mroe, and we'd be seen as even greater hypocrites.

Everyone in that room was checked/screened beforehand, per standard protocols, so they had no reason to believe the guy was armed with anything more dangerous than a pair of loafers.

It's a lose-lose situation for them, they didn't miracle jump and stop the shoes, so they suck; if they shot the guy or even used force excessive force to bring him down, people would be crying about "American atrocities", because it was just a shoe.

In the end, it was just a shoe.

and therein lies the problem. we don't deliver the (important) blows we should cause we're afraid might look bad to a third world country or two or the u.n. both whom harbour a significant amount of anti-americanism already anyway, to the point where they couldn't care less about the u.s.

With the 'freedom' that was forcibly imposed on his sovereign nation you mean..? Killing nearly 100,000 of his fellow countrymen?

Yes. It must've been sweet and I hope there was some dog poop on the heel. 😛

Yes, yes..we all know you wish we left Saddam in power to murder and kill thousands of people.

And your tone sounds like giving someone freedom to do something as small as throw a shoe at someone without getting murdered is a bad thing..?

edit: This just makes Bush so much cooler as a person, IMO. Just smiles in his face and dodged those shoes like a champ.

Yeah, the way he just brushed it off like it didnt matter struck me as really cool.

those 4 million displaced refugees, they just don't know what to do with all the freedom they were given.

Ungrateful if you ask me.

I don't think you entirely grasp what exactly is going on in Iraq since the US invasion...

omg omg I laughed so hard at this when I saw it... it made my day 😂

hey, they can throw shoes in protest!

what else could possibly be a better sign of their freedom!

Aw, so bitter.

I know you hate the fact that other people now have the freedom to vote for a representative of their country and not have to worry about getting gassed by them.

You're just crying in your pillow wishing we lost the war and withdrew so that Saddam can murder and torture more people just so you can say "Ha ha stupid republicans!"
