Journalist throws shoes at Bush

Ok, I think this is funny as hell for a ton of reasons :D

Not the act itself, I mean, throwing your shoes at a president? Stupid move. But there are just too many small moments in the 10-second video you can't help laugh at.

Here's the CNN link.

And I must say, Bush has unbelievable reflexes. And I've never seen somebody who could take their shoes off as fast as the crazy guy.

And I found the attached animation hilarious :D

I guess throwing shoes at somebody is one of the worst insults there is in Muslim cultures.

I have to agree, though. The reflexes were CRAZY.

What immediately struck me was the fact that the reporter owes his shoe throwing freedom to the man that he threw his shoes at.

Yeah, my comment was made in ignorance and was based on a misleading news article. Ah well.

Imagine if he nailed Bush right in the face. There'd be hell to pay.

this guy is low on hit rating i guess... and attacking a boss, without any tanks or healers? you're doomed to get knocked-down by trash mobs :p

I like how he smiled after the first shoe was thrown. That's classic.

Now just imagine this with a little of Benny Hill's Yakety Sax in the background.

He's not exactly free right now, still in custody, now with the Iraqi military. Now, if you meant his shoe-throwing-without-getting-beheaded freedom to the man that he threw shoes at, then ok.
