Exactly. Why is the story about some retard media pig’s opinion instead of WHICH secret service agent has his ass in a sling for not catching the idiot who threw a shoe at the President of the United States?

Someone doing such a thing deserves to be shot. For their stupidity if for no other reason. If I planned to throw something at a president, I would EXPECT to be shot.

What you said. Later, probably to ease the embarrassment of his host:
'A few Iraqi journalists stood to apologize to Mr. Bush.
"Thanks for apologizing on behalf of the Iraqi people. It doesn't bother me," Mr. Bush said before cracking a joke that lightened the tense atmosphere in the room.
"If you want the facts, it was a size 10 shoe that he threw," he said. "

End of story

“That secret service team should be FIRED. They shouldve been all over that guy before the 2nd shoe went airborne. In fact, an effective secret service agent can handily intercept any flying shoe...”
My thoughts exactly. They were asleep at the switch. Every SS agent in the room should be assigned to look for counterfeiters in rural North Dakota before the week is out.

F***ing muslim. I agree the Secret Service should’ve capped him immediately.

“...peeled off both of his shoes and threw them a the U.S. President, shouting ‘This is the end!’”
Typically unappreciative, knuckledragging POS mohammedan. They make me sick. I say, NEVER liberate another muslim country again. No blood for muslims!

It would have been cool if Bush caught the first shoe in his left hand and winged it back at they guy, hitting him in the forehead.
That being said, it is scary some unhinged reporter could get that close to our President.

Every Secret Service agent on duty should be transferred to the worst post in the world and the agent in charge should have to clean the toilets with his tooth brush!
The shoe thrower should have a Texas mudhole stomped into his butt and then walked off with a tank!

UMM - by the way, where was the Secret service? Did they react at all?

Here's the deal. Apparently in the Muslim culture one individual expresses his disapproval of another by exposing the sole of his shoe to the other. That's why they take off shoes in a mosque. When Saddam’s statue came down, a little boy beat it with the sole of his shoe. Cultural thing.

One in the back of the room took the guy dwon...but not until after he threw the 2nd shoe, which means he was too far away.
The ones in front were either in another room, coming out afterwards, or, the one up front who did not get in front of the President, again, until after the 2nd shoe was thrown.
Completely unacceptable in my opinion.
