In Case You Missed It: George Bush and the Flying Shoes

December 15, 2008     Posted in Buzz

Remember George Bush? Yeah, that guy. The one who lives in the White House and makes executive decisions. No, the one before Barack Obama.


By Lauren

Where did he go? Where has he been since the entire economy started collapsing?

I know! I forgot about him too. Well, he finally made an appearance outside the White House over the weekend and boy did everyone miss him! So much so that they gave him an extra warm welcome at a press conference in Iraq. Throwing shoes at someone’s head is a warm welcome, isn’t it?

Good thing Georgie has some quick reflexes. And that it wasn’t a woman lobbing a stiletto at his face. Poor guy never would have had a chance.

    I once threw a shoe at someone I was mad at…My mom when I was 4.

    Pretty pathetic

    Ehm, the guy throwing shoes is doing so not because he wants to kill the president of the united states, but rather because in islamic cultures it is considered disgraceful and is an insult.

    That is all this guy was trying to show.

    I was totally thinking the same thing- what if it were a stiletto?

    I have to say that I lived vicariously through that moment, as if I threw the shoe myself. I want him to leave office with as many insults to his person as possible (which seems to be working out). 1.20.09!

    aww, look at his little chubby face being all grinny and stuff! adorable!

    other than that, all i can say is that he throws bombs so i'll throw a shoe.

Tell us what you're thinking...
