The Shrine

He's too weaselly to even be hit by a shoe. Enjoy the link for excellent multi-angle replays. Obviously he has been practicing his wii fit.

*Edited to include wii fit link*

lol this was pretty funny...

It takes one hell of a man to want to throw a SHOE at a PRESIDENT. You KNOW you won't kill him, hell you probably won't even hurt him, but you KNOW you'll probably die very slowly in an unmarked basement out in the desert.

This was an Iraqi journalist who was kidnapped and beaten by Shiite militia last year. So, the guy's been through a lot. I think it's shows Bush's uncaring attitude by completely ignoring the guy's message when talking about it. "It's a size 10 shoe"? What a fucking idiot!

Goddamn asshole should be put on trial for war crimes.

I'm not disagreeing with you Sine, but unless that was a laser guided shoe with C4 packed into the soles he's retarded. What in the world did he hope to accomplish by doing that? There are much better ways to throw your life away than to throw a shoe at a president.

He didn't throw his life away. At worse, he may have lost his job, possibly even some minor jail time. Hell, with the good reception he got in the Arab world, he probably didn't even get any of that. If he's no longer allowed into presidential press conferences (likely), they will probably just relocate him, or keep him as a Iraqi correspondent. (He works for a TV station in Cairo, so he's a foreign correspondent.)

Actually, it looks like his boss supports the action and is demanding they release him.
