VIDEO/POLITICS: IRAQI JOURNALIST THROWS SHOES AT BUSH

Sunday, December 14, 2008

Watch as President George W. Bush ducks two shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi reporter during a press conference in the Iraqi prime minister’s office to mark the signing of a security agreement.

“This is the farewell kiss, you dog,” the man shouted in Arabic.

Bush wasn’t hit, and announced “I’m okay” after the incident. He added, “All I can report is it is a size 10.”

According to CNN, Hurling shoes at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult among Muslims.

I just finished watching this on Yahoo! Bush’ old ass got some reflexes, and I credit him for staying calm, but he’s a fool, and that’s how fools get treated

I think everyone should just be happy it was just a shoe. . .

I actually just watched that whole fiasco a minute ago on tv. Thank God this loser is getting out of office and quickly! His smug attitude about that incident AND about why he sent troops to Iraq just makes me sick to my stomach

It’s ironic how long it took his security team to come out to save him, they didn’t come out until way after the second shoe. If it was a gun or something Bush would have been out of luck. Bring on January already Barack the WORLD is clearly ready for you.

Check out how long it takes for them to even get the shoe throwing guy… he’s basically standing still. You know nobody cares about Bush, because given the situation, they should heve removed him from the room, but he’s still standing there through the whole thing at the microphone looking stupid… DAMN I wish he would have got hit in the damn mouth.

Okay the guy throws it and it takes til he gets the second shoe off his feet for SOMEONE to get up and stop him. LMAO at everyone staying to themselves AND the pap popping out from the side flashing photos! LMAOOOOOO fucking classic way to end a presidency!

But hey, if someone threw a shoe at another person, regardless of religion I think it would be taken as an insult, muslim or not.

[sorry its over, its obamas turn move over, the GAMES SHUT DOWN] lls.. im still dieing. this is toooo funny. its crud, but damn i think bush deserved that one. THATS HOW YOU KNOW IRAQIs dont fuck with this war, how you gunna throw a shoe at the US prez while ur OWNS countrys prez is in the room? THUGGG.

49.

me

Sunday, December 14, 2008 /

I can’t stand Bush as much as the next person, but i do not find this funny at all. Everyone sees how close he was to nailing Bush, but what if it wasnt a shoe. it makes me even more concerned for Obama in office because these people already don’t want him in there. so no, it’s not funny.

“Hurling shoes at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult among Muslims.”

Just an FYI: Actually this isn’t true. It’s considered disrespectful by Arabs, not muslims. It’s a cultural thing rather than religious.

I was surprised by how quickly Bush moved..

51.

ReyRey

Sunday, December 14, 2008 /

Lmao

Dang even people across the world don’t like him.

Bump a shoe It should have been a brick or something with more weight that actually got to hit him, im mad he missed.

52.

kaykay

Sunday, December 14, 2008 /

i was hoping you guys would post this-this isht was too funny… LMAO…IDK what the fugg secret service was doing while this man was throwing isht at the President but best believe Obama’s Secret Service woulda been all over him (and Obama) before that shoe made it half way. I liken it to Solange’s security letting that fool get on stage w/her in DC versus what Beyonce’s security woulda done if someone had tried the same thing, LOL

53.

I see an endorsement deal in his future. Must have played an awful lot of dodgeball back in the day, lol.

damn…was i the only one expecting a “the bodyguard” type situation to go down….i was totally expecting a kevin costner type guy to go flying in the air, getting hit by the shoe midair, as he swoons Bush to safety….Instead, it looked like his secuirty team was on a dognut break in the back room….they better step it up for Obama, cuz you know the KKK don’t play

OK, I laughed at first but then I realized how completely disrespectful that was. It’s just as stupid and ignorant as the PETA nuts throwing paint on people’s coats or flour-bombing them. This “journalist” would have had a bullet between the eyes if this happened in America.

68.

ya’ll can say its disrespectful as much ya’ll want,THIS IS HILARIOUS!omg,its too funny…..the only question i have,well 2 questions

WHY DID HE MISS and
WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR SOMEBODY TO DO IT
and one more question
WHY WASNT IT AN AMERICAN?

lets not even talk about “respect and bush” in the same sentence…stfu….the whole HURRICANE KATRINA issue was disrespectful,having our soldiers fight a war that we know nothing about is disrespectful,bush almost gettin hit with a shoe is priceless!

71.

i have to echo the sentiments of #49… not funny. i mean, i can’t stand the man either but i don’t like this one bit. i feel a little sorry for him actually… of course, then i remember the thousands of lives ruined by his “executive” decisions and i rethink that… but still… he’s old. let the man make his farewell tour in peace. it’s over, he’s out.

and “a bomb”, #7??? …lol wow.

73.

Sunday, December 14, 2008 /

It seems like this was staged. Just something about it ain’t right. I’m thinking the media is trying to divert our attention to this bull crap for some reason or another.
Anyhow, if the guy really was angry enough to throw something at Bush, it is too late. He’s done his 8 years of damage. It’s kinda late in the game to be throwing things. Boo.

75.

tia

Sunday, December 14, 2008 /

oh he had perfect aim,its just that bush had wonderful reflexes LMAO!!!!!…cuz if he didnt duck oh you better believe that would of been his ass…..i think it was too easy for his ass to even be aimed at…where was his secret service??? they are lucky it wasnt a “hand out my pocket” situation…thats all imma say…lmao!
