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.

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

ZeldaQueen Dec 14th, 2008 06:47 PM

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.

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 Dec 14th, 2008 07:26 PM

Yeah, I'm not that gullible. Sorry.

Fathom Zero Dec 14th, 2008 07:29 PM

"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.

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.

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.

I want that GIF in my sig!
