lol at all the comments.  I wonder if bush has raised the money yet for his witto library.  Maybe we could have the shoe w/bush and all and put it on display as a donation from the best moment in his 8 yrs!  I’d go to visit the damn stupid library JUST to see that! lol

Where were those reflexes when he was told that the United States was under attack on 9-11-he sat there like the idiot he is for over 7 minutes looking dumbfounded, his natural state-of-mind.

Oh, give me a friggin’ BREAK! You are REALLY going off the deep end on this one—what happened? The tin-foil hat fell off or tore?

You conspiracy theory nuts find conspiracies in everything.  Botch may be an idiot and a crook but he IS athletic and in great physical shape.  And those shoes didn’t come at him that fast.  Besides, it’s usually easier to dodge if you DON’T know it’s coming—you just react.

9/11 required that he put down “My Pet Goat” and THINK.  That’s where he always freezes up—when he has to think, not merely duck.

The word dignitary comes from the word dignity, neither word accurately fits G.W.Bush.

Funny how well he dodged the thrown shoes, seems as though he knew beforehand this was coming, and the smirk on Bush’s face says it all. Probably a staged incident.

Loved the bronze shoe with the shrub in it.

I’m sure Iraqi prisons are by no means the Club Med’s we have in the US, but I’d hazard a guess this particular inmate is not being treated too badly… at least I hope not. Personally, I want to see him do his time, but if he happens to get royal treatment while doing so, all the better for justice sake.

In a nutshell.  While I empathize with him, you don’t get away with attacking foreign leaders, even when they are a putz like Botch.  I’d like to see the sentence reduced to time served and an apology to the United States (if not to Botch)

Look, as bad as Bush was, he was still a foreign dignitary and the shoe throwing incident, while justified, was still a violation of the law. Muntadhar al-Zaidi had to be punished.
