George Bush nearly pelted with shoes

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.

I remember on the news when the Americans pulled the statue of Saddam down with the crane, the iraqi people took off their shoes/sandles and hit it in the face lol.

This whole episode proves Bush was right. He said that we'd be greeted with sweets and flowers and if you watch the video carefully you can see that the guy actually throws two shoe-shaped chocolate cakes at Bush.

Ok I had to make a gif too

It's 5.40 AM here in Sunderland, centre of the universe. Later today a parcel containing a pair of my old shoes will leave Sunderland bound for a Washington D.C. address. The idea came to me in a flash and the more I think about it the better it gets. I'm feeling in the middle of a cathartic experience right now, I feel cleansed, like I washed off the eight-year-long relentless shower of shit that was the Bush administration with one act. I've gone postal, so to speak. I really feel refreshed. This really would be an excellent time to eat some mescaline but I have to start work again in eight hours. Shall I eat some? Yes I shall.
