Of all the insults and expletives hurdled at President Bush, especially over his war in Iraq, I’m sure none hit home like the shoes being hurdled at him by that Iraqi journalist.

surpringly nimble with great reaction time. had he been as quick on 9/11, katrina or not thrown away billions of dollars and thousands of lives for wars that benefit oil interests, he might have left a different legacy. and the fact that he couldn’t pronounce nuclear (his nuculer usage continually reminded us that he wasn’t he sharpest knife in the drawer) didn’t help either.
he’s just lucky my grandmama wasn’t the one throwing that shoe. she would have busted his snot box wide open.
