Close, but no cigar. But Barbie doll-Nurse Ratchet look-alike Dana Perino got a black eye when a microphone nailed her in the wrestle down.
The Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes was formerly held for ransom by terrorists and beaten. He yelled while throwing the shoes, “This is for the orphans and widows of Iraq” He also said “this is a farewell kiss, dog.†& “This is the end.” (Apparently he is a Doors fan. Estimates have the Iraqi death toll as high as 1 million. It is the highest insult in middleeastern culture to have a shoe thrown at you. That’s why iraqis beat the statue of Saddam with their shoes when it was torn down. When Bush was interviewed later after the attack he said, “Not sure what his beef was.”
Gee? I wonder?
Bush’s bubble — can he really be so dense as to be clueless at the intense dislike/hate he’s got coming at him?
Here in the US of A, I’d say we fling at him what monkeys fling at us when we visit the zoo. It’s still no where near what bad Karma he’s got coming back to him.
Todd at The most trusted SD blog wrote a touching piece on how we should be thankful Shrub didn’t get hurt. And he is right, Bush needs to be healthly during his criminal trials.
Good thing Richard Ried is locked up.
Didn’t that dumbass have a fuse on his shoe? Like some Looney-toons cartoon? I wonder if it was an ACME bomb.
He got caught because he was trying to light it with a match… just like Wile-E-Coyote
Now, the department of security theatre makes everyone take off their shoes as if that would stop someone like Ried.
I wonder if you showed up in Wiley Coyote costume at the airport security what they would do?
Drop him off a cliff.
Then he would turn into an accordian
I respect and admire Officer Epp and his wonderful Buddist ways.
I don’t respect and admire the torture, the being lied into war, the $$$$$$$ that my, my kids, are saddled with due to his horrible administration.
There are over 4000 men and women not returning to their families for the holidays due to his decisions. There are countless dead, injured, and disrupted Iraqi people. What are a few shoes in contrast to this? We are seriously hurt while that doofus will walk out of the White House FREE.
So, I’m sorry to disappoint Epp, but in my lifetime really want to see some justice for Bush and Cheney.
BTW, someone quick like developed a crappy flash animation of “Throw the Shoe at Bush”.

That’s almost as entetaining as the time Donni threw a couch through the wall
Or when he left F-You notes all over the Owl’s nest and we kept them for over a year to taunt each other.
The shoe throwing was also a message to ALL AMERICANS who allowed Bush to get away with this atrocity. My hands are clean. I was opposed to this president and this war from the beginning.
[…] Welcome to Iraq Mr. President, and this to! […]
