Bush gets shoes thrown at him....

[jillio]

FINALLY!!! Bush won a brownie point for me. His dodge is absolutely amazing.

Why would that surprise you? He's been ducking and dodging for the last 8 years!

 

[Reba]

wait... I thought he accident throw his pair shoes to both Iraq flags?

The second shoe hit the American Flag.

 

[PowerON]

The second shoe hit the American Flag.

Then he hate both his homeland and USA. haha

 

[naisho]

I'm honestly not surprised, but I am at the same time. The USA has been known to have little resistance in public speeches, at the same time, Bush had been hiding under his little safenet wing for too long and it's about time someone stood up to him in first person to deliberately attack him head on for clashing opinions.


This kind of stuff happens in Taiwan (albeit illegal in China, not to confuse the two) all the time. If what you say is disagreed in the courthouse, here are the following examples. I have personally witnessed Chinese court fighting for probably as long as I can recall when I was a child.

Here's a couple of examples:

Those videos and animations are so hilarious. I had to laugh to see bush smiling... but bummer the shoes missed.

Yes, that's classical comedian-drama ever in my life. I wish he didn't ducked, but too late. What a matrix! Oh well! Wow! I enjoyed to saw Bush smiling at the journalist for miss. Anything new would not beat this video! Classical one!

You couldn't resist, could you?

 

[Christer]

yay! 20G achievements!

 

[BradB08]

I guess I miss the humor of someone throwing shoes at our country's President and Flag.

Have you been living in a cave the past 8 years?

 

[jillio]

You couldn't resist, could you?

It was just too danged easy! The door was wide open!

Why the condescension? People have different senses of humor.

Because when people are defending the indefensible, I just have to ask.

 

[Mrs Bucket]

Then that journalist's sentence raised. Possible death sentence.

Someone offer $10 million on pair of shoe that been throw on Bush. What????

An ordinary shoe worn by an Iraqi journalist turned into a memento of pride worth millions of dollars, according to a report carried by Al Arabiya net.

An Egyptian man said Wednesday he was offering his 20-year-old daughter in marriage to Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush in Baghdad Sunday.

[Mrs Bucket]

Wow! First it was possibly jail for that journalist, now it's 10 million dollar for that shoe now he gets a marriage proposal.. all for throwing a shoe!

What was she defending? She only pointed out that she didn't find it funny. I find Reba to be one of the most well-informed and coherent posters on this forum. Just because she goes against the grain on this forum doesn't mean she's been "living in a cave".

Aye, you and I find Reba one of the most well- informed posters in AD.

Personally I enjoy Reba and her logical approach in debating. She's very intelligent and wish more were like her.

Do I go against her or others? No I appreciate each member for who they are and also wish others appreciated others for who they are.

Namaste.
