How to Dodge Flying Shoes, Bush-style

i couldn't believe the news when i first heard of it. but i was not at all surprised. why? well, for one, a lot of people blame Bush for the perceived downfall of the US (with military intelligence failing the IQ test on Iraq's WMD to the kindergarten handling of the Wall Street phenomenon in September to the sleeping-guard 9/11 attacks... and perhaps a lot more...). in my opinion, Bush has to be the lamest and unworthy US president ever! good thing his daddy, ex US Pres Bush kept mum. perhaps he just wanted to vanish in thin air for the disastrous administration of his son... a namesake at that! anyway, the reporter who acted as a mobile launcher for a pair of dingy leather shoes may have just reflected the overall sentiment of the population. please, i know a lot of you will not agree with what i am saying, you will all say "For Christ's sake, he is the US president!". well, yeah? he ain't no GOD and i can give respect to those who know how to respect others too. good thing it was only a pair of shoe that almost made its mark on his face. i would have loved to see him get hit by those flying shoes! but boy! Bush does know how to dodge!!! perhaps he does that often in the Oval office, dodging secretaries' and dignitaries' questions about the general economy and what he has done in his administration. talk about Presidential hypocrisy!

i couldn't believe it myself. i thought it was a bit amusing though but i suspect the poor reporter is now in a terrible situation. i pray he will not be harmed after what he did i am not an admirer of bush but i admit, i liked the way he kept himself composed after that

well, he has to. he's not in the oval office at the time, is he? i mean, he is in iraq and though he may be surrounded by secret service agents, he is still in 'no man's land'. what could have happened if he lost his temper, too? we might have an international incident. ohhhh, i forgot, it was already an international incident. good for him! if he were to come to my place, i'd probably throw buffalo dung in his face!!!

I've seen a couple of parody graphics using the shoe-throwing footage. One graphic displayed video game text over the footage to make it look like World Of Warcraft. Another graphic began with Curly from the Three Stooges throwing something, followed by Bush ducking the shoe, and ending with Larry getting hit in the face with a pie.
