During a press conference, a journalist throws his shoes at Bush. :lol

Apparently they were size 10s.

Showing the sole of your foot to someone in the Arab world is considered an insult. When Saddam was removed from power, there was footage of people slapping his statues with their shoes.

I'm rather surprised that Bush was able to duck in time. Better reflexes than I would've thought.

Huh, I never knew that. I just figured the guy didn't have anything else to toss at him.

And yeah, Bush had pretty good reflexes there.

[Fathom Zero]

When you're sitting at a table, don't point your feet at a Turk. They don't like that.

[ZeldaQueen]

Yet something else I didn't know. Thanks.

Although I doubt I could do that. I'm not coordinated enough. If I tried, chances are I'd fall out of my chair.

[Esuohlim]

Also in Bolivia it's considered rude if you don't wave your penis at the chef to show your approval of the food

[ZeldaQueen]

Yeah, I'm not that gullible. Sorry.

[Fathom Zero]

srsly

[Yggdrasill]

OMG it hit the flag. :(

OMG it hit the flag. :(

[pac-man]

His name was Random Task

[Fathom Zero]

Hahaha, that makes sense!

"So what if the guy threw his shoe at me?" Bush told a reporter in response to a question about the incident.
"Let me talk about the guy throwing his shoe. It's one way to gain attention. It's like going to a political rally and having people yell at you. It's like driving down the street and having people not gesturing with all five fingers. ...


HAHAHAHAAA!!!! That means he is so used to looking out the window of his limo and seeing people flip him off as he drives through the streets of D.C. that this is nothing out of the ordinary! Seriously though you have to wonder how they let that guy into the conference with shoes on even though they knew there was a possibility of this terrorist attack.

[Tadao]

Footwear of class destruction.

I like watching that gif on repeat for a while. Makes me think he brought a dick load of shoes with him to throw.

Yeah, that's the trouble with spontaneously deciding to throw your shoes. You've got limited ammo.

[Dr. Boogie]

He's become an expert at dodging these past eight years.

And the video said Dana Perino got a black eye after getting smacked with a microphone. While not as good as Bush getting hit with a shoe, it's better than nothing.

[Evil Robot]

I want that GIF in my sig!

[Dimnos]

lol Bush looks like he is smiling after he ducked the first one.

[Tadao]

I noticed that too. I was wondering if it was a nervous smile or if he's amused that it took this long for something like this to happen.

[pac-man]

Throw shoes at Bush- the game:

Pac-man and Tado, BRILLIANT! :lol

[Perndog]

I wonder if they arrested the journalist and sent him to Guantanamo for attempted assassination.

[pac-man]

The Iraqi courts have him, I believe.

[kahljorn]

bush took karate or something look at his perfect block

his smiling and his blocking just kill me

[pac-man]

He should've blocked it with his face.

[kahljorn]

yea ok yea thats funny american president being hit in face with shoe?

go fucks yourself buddy

[Evil Robot]

I would say its fair to assume there would be riots rivaling the ones saw saw after the cartoon Mohamed incident if anything bad happens to this guy in jail.

Oh, so a President doesn't deserve a shoe to the face every now and then? I did my part to protect the country and our first amendment rights, so you go fuck yourself. Last time I checked, Bush was doing a shitty job. I'm not saying I'd throw a shoe at him, I'm just saying that maybe the lowest approval ratings in history aren't getting the point across.

[pac-man]

I give Dubya credit for dodging the shoes, I really do.

However, when a wannabe assassin came at Andrew Jackson with two guns (not shoes, mind you, but guns), Old Hickory took his cane and beat the motherfucker to the point where his people had to restrain him. If Bush had charged the dude, then maybe I'd be a little more forgiving.

[kahljorn]

the answer is no >:

[pac-man]

We'll agree to disagree. :)

[executioneer]

LOL @ dr boogie

Yeah, but not before the guy pulled both triggers and both guns had already jammed. Still pretty cool though.

The internet has turned all strange european accents into adult swim :(

I think skwisgar's speech more matches that sentence

Now that we know shoes are deadly, here are a couple of games to prepare you if you are Dubya and you are attacked by shoes:

Wouldn't it be awesome like if you woke up one morning and heard the Oscar Meyer jingle but played by airhorn and like you looked outside your window and it was Mr. T driving the Weinermobile, and like at the very second you looked out the guitar riff intro part of "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits stared to play out the Weinermobile's kickass sound system and Mr. T tosses you aviator shades and he's all "LET'S GO KICK SOME FOO ASS" and you'd be all SHIT YEAH! 8) ?

That would be like the greatest thing ever.

[Perndog]

No.

[DevilWearsPrada]

Wouldn't it be funny if RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM

No.
