I'm impressed by the reaction time.

Lol!

I'm not impressed by the reaction time. There's a good five seconds before the first Secret Service guy steps in front of Bush. I thought they were quicker than that. There seems to be a hint of a smile as Bush looks up from the first duck.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Jesus! Someone make me an avatar of the first shoe sailing by with Bush's head popping back up with that grin on his face. Classic.

Bush was an athlete in school, wasn't he?
post #9 of 88
I also saw the smile! He loved the fact that he was avoiding that shoe!

Damn, Spider-Man speed and spider sense!

The video would have been even better if it ended up with the shoe thrower being tasered.

The smile tells me that this has happened to Bush before. Laura has probably thrown a shitload of Heels at him. She probably isn't a FLAMETHROWER like this iraqi journalist, though.

And better still had it ended with Bush's brains splattered all over the wall.

Who throws a shoe? Honestly.




....sorry.
post #14 of 88
This is the first time Bush has ever reacted to something quickly and properly.

Can't say the same about the Secret Service guys.

He certainly seems to be enjoying leaving the Office.

I am trying to come up with a shoe pun, but I am laughing too much to concentrate.

ElCapitan just can't hide his inner Republican.

also: My wife just praised your work on you avatar.

Well, tasered while screaming don't tase me bro in Arabic of course.
post #19 of 88
That was great, but yeah, the Secret Service were really slack on their response time.
post #20 of 88
Yeah. Those secret service guys should be retired. If he had a gun, Bush was dead.
The guy threw BOTH shoes before they got him.
post #21 of 88
And the first guy to react and try to subdue him seems to be a reporter!

I think we just found out what George's favorite game is in the White House.

Impressive that the guy manages to miss both times from that distance. Were the secret service guys asleep?
post #25 of 88
It's nice to see him greeted as the liberator he is.

Why oh why couldn't it put his eye out? That would have been awesome.

What disgusted me most was the "big man" way that the goateed SS agent comes up after the guy is subdued by the people that were gathered in the seats.

Worthless asshole.

Impressive response by our shittiest prez though.


El Cappie is sad.

I love that my comment about the taser is met with such disapproval, while the one about wishing the guy would have shot Bush in the head doesn't.

I'm not saying he should be tasered out of punishment, just that it would seem to have been the typical next step overreaction in today's society. BTW, I'm no fan of tasers, but won't lie and say it might have been a funny way to end this "incident".
post #27 of 88
Well whatever, those shoes were the closest Bush will ever come to feeling to consequences of his presidency...and they were off the mark.
post #28 of 88
Secret Service guys must be just counting off the days till it's over I guess. Weird how slow they were to react. That second loafer shouldn't even been allowed to taste sky.
Second the notion this isn't the first shoe thrown in frustration he has had to face down.

Laughing at someone being tasered sounds like fandom to me.

Now, now... you're both right.
post #33 of 88
And "don't tase me, bro" is never NOT funny.

..please don't let zooey ever see this grammar..
post #34 of 88
WOW did the Secret Service guys behind the door watch this on TV and went "oh well let him throw the second one too at the old mofo, then we go in - slowly"?!

I hope the guys protecting Obama are a different caliber.
post #35 of 88
Now that was no lame duck!

Thank you. Tip your waitress.

Haha yeah it's like "shit, he's still got another shoe! Let's wait until he throws it then take him down!"

I hope this video us played for all Secret Service agents before they get assigned.

Bush showing off some jedi reflexes there.
I do love his reaction,I can't work out if he's just that cocky or too stupid to realise that someone was trying to cause him harm?What if it'd been an explosive device?Any recovered footage would have shown Bush with a big grin on his face.Bloody doughnut.

ShaolinMK, Lets see...If the shoe fits...Mr President, wear it.

Can't believe The Daily Show won't be on tomorrow to use this.

The Secret Service guys on duty were loafers.

OR The Colbert Report.

I certainly hope the late night guys are not on vacation this week, They will have an absolute field day with this!!

You'd think the Secret Service would have moved in faster. Haven't they heard of shoe bombs?
post #43 of 88
In the video Maliki seems pretty blase about the whole thing.

"Eh, what can you do, y'know?"

Just came here to post this:



Because it made me giggle.

It's like the security detail was just whatever they could cobble together.

It's like their responsive faculties were somehow clogged.

It's like... oh, nevermind.
post #48 of 88
Love that face. I wonder if Bush secretly wanted to be a wrestling heel. Looks like he enjoys his infamy.
post #49 of 88
If Shaq had thrown his shoe, he would have nailed them both.
