George Bush nearly pelted with shoes

[El Kabong]

Of course Bush, ignorant dipstick that he is, cracked some joke about shoe size. Probably he had no concept of the nature of the insult, or it's relevance to the Muslim faith. One would hope that if he did, he wouldn't have joked such.

.....oh get off it. I thought it was funny how he reacted.

yeah, it was good for a laugh. Any bozo could have come up with such a quip. Still it does pay for a world leader to be on top of such nuances.

Brings to mind a comment by Jean Chretien, our long time fearless leader, and a Liberal, in a meeting with middle east leaders...

"I couldn't tell you the difference between East, West, North, or South Jeruselem" duhhh wrong joke.

anyways, no big deal I guess.

I meant when he ducked and sort of smiled and pointed at the guy and then ducked again....that was priceless!

Let Obama get shoes thrown at him and see how he reacts!

that fucking asshole, they can't treat a U.S President like that. I dont care who it is, even if Bush didn't do a good job. NOBODY TREAT OUR PRESIDENT LIKE THAT.

THEY SHOULD LOCK THAT ASSHOLE UP.

You do realize that that President is responsible for invading that man's country, setting off a brutal war which is directly responsible for tens of thousands of deaths?

Your President is lucky threw a shoe instead of a grenade.

If we hadn't done that they would still be under a fucking tyrant asshole. Do they prefer to be treated like dogs or get a chance at democracy?

Well.I rarely give the chimpanzee credit,but he did slip those shots nicely. Hell of alot better then the Segway incident,or the running over the bobbie incident with his bike,or the just falling off his bike incident,or the pretzel incident

What would you expect? What if a country invaded America to eradicate Bush and killed innocent people along the way? I'm sure you would lob a shoe at the countries leader too if he came to visit and claim it was a success

Did they ever find all those WMD?That is what they went in for isn't it?

Stuff like this actually makes me like people more. I am with Lyle I think Bush handled this great, great moves too.

And before today I had no idea that throwing shoes at someone was an insult in Muslim culture. I just thought that the dude wanted to hit Bush in the head with a shoe, not that it had some deep meaning to it.
