VIDEO/POLITICS: IRAQI JOURNALIST THROWS SHOES AT BUSH

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. . .

  16. fattygirl218

    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

  17. shan_shan!

    the guy shouldve had perfect aim i would have loved to see the shoe hit bushs forehead front and center

  18. Nate

    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.

  19. KIKI

    I watched the whole think on C Span. I thought it was funny. But then again, it was disrespectful too.

  20. Freddy.jay

    well there you go the world Cant stand this Foool lol thats so funny to me i wanted him to get hit his punk ass lol . . . oh well lol he going to get his

  21. BRWNCRAYOLA

    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.

  22. baldy

    DAMN,I THOUGHT THIS DUDE ONLY DODGED BULLETS,HE DODGED THOSE SHOES LIKE A MUGFUKAH!

  23. Nikki

    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!

  24. FallBackHaters

    LMAO too bad it missed.

    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.

  25. Lisa

    Classic…this stuff is made for the history books.

  26. AMillionaire

    Damn that made my day,LOL how I wish he would have connected but still very funny. Bush is definitely making history the first president to have a pair of shoes thrown at him. I guess there are even terrorist journalist LAMO…..

  27. CharismaZ

    DAMN THE JOURNALIST MISSED BUSH’S NOSE!

  28. CharismaZ

    TOO BAD OMG TOO BAD HE MISSED HIS MOUTH!

  29. jersey_diamond

    that was the highlight of my night.

  30. john osahon

    first thing first, that man is my HERO.

    second, why the hell did the shoe not hit that creature

    and lastly, DAMN bush knows how to dodge, DAMN he is faster than FLASH when it comes to hiding from his problems, did it during vietnam, doing it now, why didn’t he take the shoe like a man? LOL

  31. D@ Pop3

    SWEET!!!!…LOVES IT

  32. Sara

    O….M….G…. That was crazy! I wonder what made him think to do that? I would’ve guessed someone would do that.

  33. ButtaBaby

    When I saw this on CNN earlier I couldn’t help but smile. Good Job Iraqi Journalist!

    Then he had the nerve to still have that stupid smirk on his face

  34. kevin morosky

    amazing brrrrrraaaaaaaaap

  35. Hot Gal

    His security team must not like him, they took mighty long to get that guy down. That was a fiasco! LMAO

  36. Jhandi

    Dubyah’s secret service detail is asleep at the wheel…WTF? Funny though.

  37. LayinkaJ

    Dayum. On his farewell tour and something like this happens? I ain’t no fan of “Dubya” but for a second, I actually felt sorry for him…o well.

  38. BrittanyBeauty

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  39. YEAH

    Bush acted as if he has been in that situation before. Hmmmm………………Be sure to shut the door on you way out.

  40. 10piece

    that was hella disrespectful but that was like a game of duckhunt that went wrong LOL. Damn bush is fast for an old man, luckily b/c his security detail were looking around like oohh we supposed to do something…I guess.

  41. Joey

    lls, lmao, rofl, LOL…

    omg this is too damn funny. the unapproval ratings have reached world wide. LMAOO. dayumm, george bush, YOU ARE NOT LIKED !! no respect either. you have just lost so much respect. [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.

  42. me

    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.

  43. Mikadee

    “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..

  44. ReyRey

    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.

  45. kaykay

    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

  46. Booyall

    His old ass got some reflexes! But I wish one would of decked him on the top of his head! If he had just turned for a second…that head would of been gone!

  47. CharismaZ

    Lol GWB is a real cowboy though lool

  48. Laenicia

    IT’S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY DID THAT

    *In Missy Elliot’s Voice*:

    “Izzy, Kissy…Looky Here!”

    Laura’s gonna have to bust out the Icy Hot and Green Liniment to rejuvinate those old, achy bones…marinate & rub that ass down good fashioned, mmm, hummm…Yes Sir! Wish I could’ve added some sound effects to the shoes wooshing past that noggin.

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

  50. London
