Iraqi Journalist Throws Shoe at Bush

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Iraqi Journalist Throws Shoe at Bush

Post by cypher1554R »

:lol: Yeah.. It's exactly what the title says: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0125Qrn2 ... ture=bz301

Here's the funny thing. As soon as this was news'd, many lawyers (about 1000 so far) proposed themselves to defend the pitcher, and an oil giant offered 10mill $ for each shoe. 8-)

The government wanted to take him in its hands, but at this point is a legal issue and they can't touch him.

edit: another hilarious thing is how Georgie dodged the shoe impressively and then laughed at it.. :)

at the end: "If you want the facts, it's a size 10 shoe.." :lol:


edit2: It appears that there was a huge protest when the pitcher was thrown into jail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYnMp-Cn ... re=channel Hmm.. The world is definitely not black and white.

Some Egyptian dude offered his 20 year old daughter to the Journalist. I heard it on the radio, though, so I don't have a source.

At least Bush's reflexes aren't crap. I wonder if he dodges bullets Matrix style like that?

I have to give Bush props. The guy matrix dodged two shoes, then came back smiling with a few smartass remarks. Very classy, indeed.

Probably the coolest thing the man has done in his presidency.
