No longer, as evidenced by this incident. The Mideast has been changed, for the better, forever, by Bush.
P.S. - Bush sure does move quick, and he comes up smiling. Same guy that threw the post 9/11 strike at Yankee stadium. The kind of guy you want in the foxhole with you, unlike the pansy, cut-and-run Dems.
Fast becoming a Cover story to focus attn. away from Obama ?
Sorry .. I ain’t buying what the MSM IS selling . . .Mombai is the “Reverb” in the Arab world and Bush has keep us safe in the USA.
Chunking Shoes we can certainly handle with ease.
Cover Obama MSM . . QUIT trying to focus Attn. elsewhere.
I would have loved it if Bush caught the shoe and threw it back.
If I were Obama I would be very concerned over this development. It shows a total failure of the security protecting the US president. Where was the Secret Service? What if the idiot had thrown a knife, shot a gun at the president, thrown a bottle filled with acid, and what if Bush had been hurt? It would have created an international incident.
The picture of this guy makes him look like a typical stupid liberal in America, his laughing face reminds me of the morons who post on Huffpo daily: glad when Sarah Palin’s church is burned down, but irate if Obama is asked a difficult question on the Blago situation.
Of course, I probably would have laughed my ass off if Dubya had returned fire with a pork chop and hit that moron right between the eyes.
Yeah, I’m not getting it...maybe if he had put some dog crap in a bag and set it on fire outside of Bush’s door or maybe teepeed a tree in the front yard...
Anyone surprised at anything said or done by the arabs.
Bombing children in schools
Bombing children in their homes
Bombing busses
Bombing hospitals, universities, etc.
Shoe throwing, just piggish behaviour compared to the barbarity of the above list of outrages.
It’s just too bad GW didn’t jump down off the podium and beat the SNOT out of this guy, break his nose, split his lip
etc,” You don’t dis the big dog, farking moron!”.
That would have been a reasonable response in the arab world, now they just think he’s weak.
I hope he has a surprise for them.
Once again, the MUSLIMS are getting what they want with this matter. The whole idea of the shoe incident was to create this BS.
HEY brain dead MEDIA MORONS, they are MUSLIMS, the guy who threw the shoe is a MUSLIM, stop with the ARAB BS. MOST of all, they hate our AMERICAN Guts. The despicable Muslim putz DISRESPECTED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS DEPLORABLE.
The question is: How would the media have reacted if that putz had thrown the shoe at BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?
MSM newsrooms, Ithaca, Berkeley, Madison, Austin...
Whatever, most people are embarrassed over this behavior, especially since it came from a Baathist.
I wish President Bush had caught the first shoe and whipped it right back into that donkey’s face.
