This is pretty amusing. I'm impressed by his reflexes, but the Secret Service seems a little slow on the draw. The guy got not one but TWO shoes off before the Secret Service took him down. Perhaps they were unwilling to take a show for a lame duck President?

That sounds fair since Bush has completely assaulted my sense of being a proud American for eight years.
Bush has made you less proud to be an American? I don't like his Presidency because he isn't a legitimate conservative, but I certainly wouldn't say he's made me less proud to be an American.Originally Posted by DrZaius
Good grief.
By the title of this thread I was hoping they arrested that dastardly shoe, and put it in jail for awhile.
Shoebox?
The shoe was allowed to walk free.
Wow, I never knew David Earl was so accurate. Give that man a scholarship!
i would say open abuse of the public trust is a reason to feel less proud.
more so than the new wanking of "true conservatism" philosophes. the recourse to lofty principles and "true Reagan conservatism" we heard none of which until it started going south in Iraq.

Throwing a shoe at Bush: Good.

That really hurt! I'm gonna have a lump there, you idiot! Who throws a shoe? Honestly! You fight like a woman!
For the good old American lifestyle: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money.
heh.What I find weird is that guy isn't getting killed for doing that... the reason: Saddam is not in power, and guess who made that happen?, the guy that reporter was throwing a shoe at.
As much as I hate GWB, I have to give him serious "bullet time" props.
You go, Neo. Dodge those nasty size nines.
This was the most amazing photo of the secret service agent who was stationed in front of the podium...

just imagine the let's nuke them into a glass parking lot outrage if this was 2003.
but, all the Elephants became political theorists in the mean time....and dumped old W for nostalgia and MTV memories of cruising Shields Blvd in jean shorts listening to the Outfield, reading Edmund Burke, and all of foreign policy being a subset of the Cold War.
let me cut off the "I like my girls a little bit older" poster now.
