You Knew I Would Do This



The shoe was size 10. Bush has good reflexes at dodging shoes and recovering from insults.

UPDATE: Bush: "...that's what people do in a free society, draw attention to themselves."

  1. He's been dodging stuff at press conferences for eight years. Why would anyone be surprised?

  2. From Politico this morning:

    "E-MAIL OF THE DAY, from our favorite GWU Law graduate: 'I like this president. Where has he been the last 8 years." (sic)

  3. SusanKay, that's true. I have the sense that if W watches the video, he comes away quite pleased with himself. And the spin! It was really a good thing.

    WE, that's not bad.

  4. A Salon commentator points out that the Secret Service is getting pretty lackadaisical about Bush's security when the Iraqi PM is the guy who attempts to block the missile. Seems the SS may have concluded that Bush isn't worth taking a bullet for.

  5. Yes, those were some slick moves our president had. I must say I was impressed with his agility and speed at dodging that shoe.
    I wish he would have been on my dodgeball team this fall.

  6. I can think of a few things other than shoes I would like to sling at him. But I understand that shoe throwing is the ultimate of Iraqi disrespect.

  7. He's got great reflexes. It made me wonder what Laura's been throwing at him.

  8. When we saw it at my house, we all shouted out, "I wanted to do that!"

  9. Bush certainly draws attention to himself.

  10. Andrew Sullivan reports that the shoe-thrower, now in US custody, is being beaten.

  11. IT, I'm very sad, but not surprised. Where is Sullivan's story? I didn't see it on the Daily Dish.
