Bush Narrowly Evades Shoe Attack
An Iraqi news reporter throws his shoes at President Bush during a ceremony in Iraq stating “This is the end”. First off, I would like to say those are pretty good reflexes for an old man. Second, I believe that perhaps Barbara must throw shoes at him because he ducked the shoe too naturally, not unlike an athlete. Third, and maybe most importantly; where was the secret service? Sure the first shoe was a surprise, but someone was supposed to “take the bullet” on the second shoe. I should have seen a man diving in front of the podium in response to the second shoe with no regard for his own life.
To the Iraqi “shoeman”; what the heck, man? You must have grown up in the posh area of Iraq, not ever throwing a rock in your life. How could you miss? Twice! You are a disgrace to your recently liberated country. You are what we, in America, call an “easy out.” He did hit the American flag, so maybe we should let a Marine talk to him about honor. Just a thought.
That’s all I got to say about that.

That “reporter” had a pretty good arm only President Bush was amazingly quick to react. Can you just imagine Al Jazeera and our own beloved mass media would have loved to have shown him getting hit. Glad they missed out on that bit of schadenfreude. Clinton definitely would have taken the shoe with a direct hit. Obama is still pretty young and he is a work-out-a-holic so he would have like President Bush, ducked the insult.
Paul, excellent use of the word schadenfreude. It is good to know BloggingThat has educated readers. I still think the secret service has some training to do. Thanks for reading.
