haha - that pic is funny! Shocker FTW!

I agree - it would have been hilarious if the shoe hit him in the face. The guy who threw the shoe, shouldn't have made any noise before throwing the shoe - he just drew attention to himself by the intended target.

He should have been quiet and throw it when Bush wasn't looking LMAO.

Hahahaha saw this last night and i always pissed my pants. But definitely some reflexes Mr Bush has there.......I wish it hit him though

IT was really funny when you see secret service come out (notice the top portion of the video behind bush, after the second shoe.... Those guys must have been sleeping... If I had to protect my prime minister and saw a shoe thrown at him, I would have ran instantly....

That man had guts, and luckily Bush had reflexes....

BTW, what is the picture (looks like gang pose) of Bush and those people doing?

They actually quoted Bush afterwards saying that he didn't know what the guy's "beef" was and that it he thought it was funny. Nothing like being mocked in the whole Arab world - plus they are celebrating in the streets over this incident and protesting the "shooter's" arrest. Too funny!

hahaha that was too much, I was cracking up when I heard about it the other day! Love it!!!!!

Politics in general just sucks the bag but stuff like this just makes it so much more bearable. Can't wait for the next politician to get a nice pie right in the kisser LOL.

LOL.. that footage was gold saw it last night... It is a shame he didn't get hit :chuckle

As soon as i saw that video i thought "yeah he's good at dodging alot of things" haha glad to see theres a consensus in the media and on the forums about that lol..

damn good reflexes though..

i heard the journalist has been jailed.. there are protests in Iraq..

They should just let him go.. politicians have been pied before, so what if it was a shoe..

He's gonna get 7 years in prison for throwing a shoe! If it was like that in Canada, do you know how many of us children of Italian parents (who have dodged wooden slippers) would have been orphened. LOL! Let me tell you how my dad and mom can make a slipper round a corner! LOL

I had a grade 12 teacher who hit a student with a shoe, then threw it at him as he ran from the room. Guy didn't get in trouble, was awesome.:chuckle

Ya, that doesn't happen to much over here. I'm surprised the teacher wasn't fired. LOL.
