    Say what you like about President Bush - at least his presidency has delivered an endless amount of entertainment. Who could forget this classic moment?

    I will miss him just for this, to be honest. We're certainly not going to get any images like this from President Obama, are we? It's going to be a very dull 4 years for satirists and pranksters everywhere.

    I'm surprised they didn't shoot the guy who threw them.

    Good point.

    Was so funny though :D He just about missed them!

    I bet they don't teach you to doge shoes when becoming president!

    In the words of Austin Powers,

    "Who throws a shoe? Honestly".

    Well, flies have no discernible intelligence and they still achieve incredible reaction times, so I guess Bush is also capable of them.

    I was impressed by his ducking skills (at 1st I typed a word that rhymes with ducking haha)

    There have been demonstrations demanding the show throwers release. There have also been iraqi's saying the guy was stupid for throwing the shoe.

    Made me laugh earlier reading a report on it, "the man was being questioned by security officials, his shoes kept as evidence", haha

    I thought it was even funnier in the news with Bush saying, "what's his beef with me anyway?" or something like that..hmm let me see George where does one begin in trying to explain why an Iraqi would want to throw his shoes at you you chimp gimp!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    haha yeah i saw that too! and thought the same thing! you've only blown up his country and thrown hsi people in to poverty.

    it will be different when obama gets into a power, having a US president that thinks about what he says and has a better choice of wording!

    I am glad to see that mass interest in the 'Bush shoes' has led to the creation of 100 jobs: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/22/turkey-george-bush-shoe

    It's also good that hatred for the chimp remains as high as ever, and that he will in all probability continue to be be universally despised like the cunt he is until the day he dies.
