FOUR shoes?? I only thought the guy had two!

I guess you and I are the few people who really understand the seriouosness of the insult offered and the inadequacy of Bush’s response.

This “insult” is not worthy of a serious response from Bush.

So what if another culture thinks it’s a big deal to throw shoes at someone. I’m glad Pres. Bush responded the way he did. He responded as an American, not as a Muslim.

That was a great joke, size 10. We Americans look at the incident as some crazy guy throwing a shoe. That’s all.

I do think the Secret Service reaction time was slow. Now that’s a serious subject matter.

LOL. I meant he had TIME to throw 4 shoes. Not that he did throw 4 shoes. That would have been quite the spectacle. I guess it’s just a good thing that he wasn’t throwing bottles. Or hand grenades. Because he had really, really good aim, and the SS was obviously asleep. Or dreaming about Obama or something.
