George Bush's visit to Iraq

[psychopat]

This just deserves to be posted and I'm surprised no one else has yet... I laughed.

Yes, yes, I hears Bush got hit by a shoe :f2:

[»-Chris->]

It missed.

[Katie]

I'm surprised that Bush has such great reflexes at his old age.

Anyways, my local radio station did some spoof on this this morning. People called in, picked a dj from the station on the morning show to throw a shoe at an intern in the head and whoever actually hit the intern in his head won tickets for their caller to a concert. It was funny to listen to the intern screaming every time a shoe hit his body.

Lawl! I just saw this on another forum a few minutes ago. It's a true shame that guy missed. :f4::f4::f4::f4::f4::f4::f4::f4::f4::f4:

The first one would have hit him, the second one was sailing above his head.

When I first saw this on the news, I laughed. (of course) Then, my horrible morning mind (im not a morning person AT ALL) began to imagine things. What if a secret service guy went and took the shoe for Bush??? You know! Jumped in front of Bush so he wouldn't get hit by the shoe. Then I went on to think about how it could have been implanted with a bomb and they would run and take the shoe. Then proceed to throw it out of a window or something. Anyways, as you watch the video, imagine someone "taking the shoe" for Bush. Maybe you can lol with me? :wink:

I saw that on the news today it was very funny. But seriously how bad a shot is that guy!?

[sicnarf]

This would be the first time I've ever seen a lame duck duck.

[I hate talking politics, even in a thinly veiled way, but I couldn't resist posting about this]

Initially, yes! How could you not find some humor in this, but imagine this being a reporter with a gun, or a knife... I guess my point is that this situation could EASILY have been something much more serious and having a greater impact than you may think. Wall Street is hanging by a string, and a presidential assasination doesn't exactly inspire confidence in any economy.
(yeah, I'm sure security was air tight for every precious step his highness took in Iraq, but still....)

Trust me, I'm no fan of Bush at all (I wont go into it, it should be painfully obvious to anyone paying attention over the past 8 years how different the country is now), but I'm glad that we're able to joke about this incident.

Seriously though, wt-ever-loving-:pineapple: is he even doing over there? What's he trying to prove at this point? It's such a joke. Wake me up when Bush, his cabinet, his policies and his agendas are a distant memory.

[FelixTM]

I'm still surprised he dodged it.

[psychopat]

Wall Street is hanging by a string, and a presidential assasination doesn't exactly inspire confidence in any economy. To be honest, I think the economy would go up if he were to get assassinated. It seems to me that the people are a lot more bullish on Obama than they are on Bush... I'm also pretty positive that the reporters were patted down & searched before entering that conference room. The reason he's using his shoes is probably because he has no other projectiles.

Of course, that's just my neophyte opinion.

[Corn]

Well, the journalist was thrown to jail, and right now people are rebelling to let him out.

[GMSInfighter]

If it wasn't for George Bush's secret crime fighting moves, that shoe would have knocked his head clean off.

Good thing he dodged it.

[Evilince]

Yeh well, as I said in another forum, I swear bush was smiling after he dodged the first one. If I was pres and someone threw a shoe at me, I'd laugh.

[SuGaRnSp1C3]

I ROFLed when I saw that on the news! I don't think they would have people with knives & stuff in there since it's in a "high risk area"..I'm surprised he ducked.. HE CAN BE ON A DODGEBALL TEAM! LMAO..

[Erich]

In Iraqi culture it is bad to let another man see the soles of your shoes.

SO DUBLE OWN.

My friend turned it into a pokeball on a forum.:cool:

I think they are the same ppl that are part of the Free Mumia movement.

Im surprised the 2nd guy didn't even flinch avoid the shoe if it hit him..

[Holikoy]

I love this video, for several reasons.

1. Lmao @ a shoe being thrown at a president.
2. The person who did it expected to be locked up, tortured for the rest of his life. He hasn't experienced freedom in his lifetime, and is hardly getting punished.

This shows progress in Iraq. If this was Saddam, before the US stepped in, this man would be tied to a poll, tortured in public, etc. Instead, his freedom of speech is being broadcasted.
