(alan1chef @ Dec. 16 2008,09:53) 100 years from now the shoethrowers decendants will be thanking Bush for getting rid of Saddam.

Only 100

I think you missed a few zeros there , there's not to many wanting to thank him at the moment .

Good on the shoe thrower , I see he has become somewhat a celebrity in Iraq

(ohnoriceagain @ Dec. 16 2008,11:48) I hate that fucking asshole and would like to see him duck a bullet.  

I'm no lover of Bush (the politican that is I love the other kind) but I suppose if someone was talking like this about Obama you'd never call them a redneck gun nut now would you.

My Thoughts upon seeing the video:
Dam, what good reactions Bush had in dodging the shoe/s
Where in the hell was his protection?  Makes you wonder....hmm...
As Autin Powers said, "who throws a shoe"
 

[Tomcat]

I bet he wished he hadnt thrown the shoe now. The cunt got a fucking good kicking afterwards and got a broken jaw, six broken ribs and hes eating through a straw

Shoe Hurled at Bush Flies Off Turkish Maker's Shelves

Dec. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The shoe hurled at President George W. Bush has sent sales soaring at the Turkish maker as orders pour in from Iraq, the U.S. and Iran.

The brown, thick-soled "Model 271" may soon be renamed "The Bush Shoe" or "Bye-Bye Bush," Ramazan Baydan, who owns the Istanbul-based producer Baydan Ayakkabicilik San. & Tic., said in a telephone interview today.

"We've been selling these shoes for years but, thanks to Bush, orders are flying in like crazy," he said. "We've even hired an agency to look at television advertising."

Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi hurled a pair at Bush at a news conference in Baghdad on Dec. 14. Both shoes missed the president after he ducked. The journalist was jailed and is seeking a pardon from Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

Baydan has received orders for 300,000 pairs of the shoes since the attack, more than four times the number his company sold each year since the model was introduced in 1999. The company plans to employ 100 more staff to meet demand, he said.

"Model 271" is exported to markets including Iraq, Iran, Syria and Egypt. Customers in Iraq ordered 120,000 pairs this week and some Iraqis offered to set up distribution companies for the shoe, Baydan said.

Baydan has received a request for 4,000 pairs from a company called Davidson, based in Maryland. He declined to provide further details.

If it were up to me, everyone would die of old age.  No murders, no disease, you just keep kicking until your heart stops ticking.

No, I actually said I would like him to duck a bullet, I don't want him dead.  But yeah, I would never call them a redneck gun nut because I didn't say that, did I?

He's lucky to walk away with his head...


(btw, not condemning nor condoning what he did, but it was pretty stupid to blatantly assault a world leader and *not* expect to be punished)
