...a man threw two shoes at him - one after another - during a news conference with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "This is the end!"
shouted the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.
Bush ducked both throws. Neither leader was hit. In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt; Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes after U.S. marines toppled it to the ground after the 2003 invasion. "All I can report," Bush joked of the incident, "is a size 10." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/bush Best moment of Bush's Presidency. The shoes missed, and he got off a passable quip. |

My guess is that that correspondent is now a shoe-in as the next prime minister of Iraq.

In fact, he may be the sole candidate.

He may be the best candidate to help Iraqis foot the bill for their own recovery and pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.

He'll get a lot of tread out of being Bagdad's version of Olbermann.

How did Bush get such good reflexes for ducking things thrown at him (lots of practice?)
That poor, brave, journalist is a dead man. |

I'm sure Bush is physically very healthy, as long as he's not eating pretzels.

Shame on us. We should know how sensitive Stammy is about shoes. After all, he's grown so many corns for his country.

I was thinking his reflexes were pretty good too until I saw this: So what? Obviously his mental reflexes still aren't good. |
