Am I a horrible person for thinking it would be a lot funnier if he got hit?

I'm not a big bush fan (even though I voted for him twice :P) but I will say he has a sense of humor.

As the man continued to scream from another room, Bush said: "That was a size 10 shoe he threw at me, you may want to know."

From the second link:

Throwing shoes at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult among Muslims.


So there you go, that is why they throw shoes.

In Arab culture, throwing a shoe at somebody is a grave disrespect.

Awww, when you posted that I was expecting to see a bush edited in or something.

Someone should do it.

Of course not. It's just a shoe.

Someone's losing their job over this though.

yeah, that shoe could have had anthrax on it, or AIDS!

I do not think everyone's worked up over the fact that its a shoe, but over the fact that it could have been anything that was thrown at him. Even if its something as insignificant as a shoe, it was probably the scariest moment in Bush's presidency, or life.

It's hard to tell but I thought Bush raised his hand and made an "it's okay" gesture after the shoes were thrown.

I don't know, the video makes it look like Bush has good reflexes, but I suspect the guy couldn't have taken longer/made it more apparent beforehand that he was about to throw the shoe. Even my grandmother could have probably dodged that.

Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

I think I can speak for him, saying, a shoe is not very scary. (No it couldn't have been a shoe bomb .. they have security screening for that)
2008-12-14, 3:32 PM #34
I wonder if he'll wonder if that was really worth it while he sits in jail for the next couple of years.

Makes sense. I'm just saying that Bush was in a scenario where he probably expected to be completely secure (explains why the USSS was in the back room). He probably knew it was a shoe when the second one was thrown, but when someone shouts and then throws something at you that entire sense of security melts away. The world hates Bush, and I think Baghdad is at near the top of that list. Regardless of screening processes and security, **** can still happen.
