Here's an original Shoe Bush-Shoe Joke :

The Reporter who threw his Shoes at Pres. Bush is expected to be held in highly protective custody in the Iraqi prisons because the other prisoners are threatening to harm him - not for attacking Pres. Bush, but for missing the target.

There has been plenty of "bizzare" moments during his administration beginning from the time he rolled down the street on inauguration day. Someone should assemble a list. His arrogance is astounding.

Bush may have been quick to dodge the shoes, but I didn't see the secret service leap to his defense. If the boot had been on the other foot I wonder how quick the President would have moved to save them. If shoes have to come off before interviews it's a good job it wasn't his underpants thrown..

I see the future,all reporters will have to remove shoes in future when interviewing the President,oh not American reporters of course they can be trusted to toe the line.

His words said one thing, but his shoes said "Here, take a walk!"

I'm sure we're going to see a barrage of disparaging jokes on SNL and other liberal media about Bush. However, one thing can't be denied: Bush has quick reactions, and handled the whole incident perhaps as better than he has any other since he's been in the White House.

You gotta admit, that's funny. Bush was too cool. He just stood there with his hands on the podium and ducked and came right back and watched the other shoe fly by. I think it was all he could to keep from laughing as it was happening. Naturally, it took it in stride and came up with some jokes.

Speaking truth to power. It's easy to criticize the act as childish but how does a traumatized and abused nation act in accordance with the rules of etiquette in the face of so much innocent slaughter. I applaud the man's intent and wish the US press would follow suit. Enough is enough.

Thankfully, President Bush had the quick timing to evade such a dangerous and childish act but a radical "respected pressman" individual. Of the millions of Iraqi's how many are happier without Saddam? In no way does one shoe thrower, or the "thousands" who supported him represent Iraq as a whole.

The hero's shoe is a clear message to Bush who came to Bagdad in hiding & got the farewell he deserves. He invaded this country on false information & in a ugly demonstration of the western hypocracy.

A shoe in the bush is worth two in the hand

The fact that Our International Embarassment doesn't understand the significance of what was said and done (dismissing it as 'bizarre'), and doesn't think this represents a real undercurrent, highlights how uninformed and out of touch the man is.
Can we send him home early?

So, Bush gets Shoe-d out of Iraq?
