Saw this on the news several days ago. It actually happened, really, and it's quite hilarious. ^_^

Bush Shoe Attack

To sum this up, an angry Iraqi Journalist throws both of his shoes at Bush -- whom dodges both of them. Need I also mention that in some slow-mo videos of the shoes getting thrown at Bush, the dude next to him smirks (I guess he was trying not to laugh).

(Note: Just thought I'd bring this up.)

I know we're all excited to see him out of office, but one must simply wait just one more month. However, one must be wary of his end game.

Too bad he didn't throw a grenade at him.

I'm sure he could of easily taken one into a press meeting with two leaders. Easily.

That guy should've been tackled to the ground the instant he even started to move.  Where was the Secret Service?  That guy could've been firing a gun at him instead of a shoe.

"They handled the situation in a reasonable time and manner." Or something like that, according to their director. You know what HE was hoping would happen- He was hoping it was what it you were saying, mAc ;)

How do you know they didn't inspect everyone for weapons?

The WoW one is pretty funny too.  It's a crazy story.  It truly is.

If you think those GIFs are funny, you should see the flash game that was based off of the incident.
Yahoo! did a report on it and they freaked out that a couple of countries were so close to us on the scoreboard.

Ah, yes. I heard about this 'incident' in the news. About time someone threw a shoe at him, though I wished it would of hit him.

I can't stop laughing when remembering this, however... :D
