- S2000, on 12/14/2008, -8/+58This guy is definitely a shoe-in for journalist of the year.
- mdnash, on 12/14/2008, -4/+50I love how Bush smiled after he dodged the first shoe
- depro9, on 12/14/2008, -11/+48WHY DID HE MISS? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(
I hope they don't kill this guy now. - manu3l, on 12/14/2008, -8/+44In many muslim countries having a shoe thrown at you is a very disrespectful act. Thats why he did it.
The other option would have been a camera, but thats such a expensive equipment to waste on bush... - willster580, on 12/14/2008, -2/+38Kind of like how caps lock is the ultimate insult in online culture.
- Leonffs, on 11/20/2009, -1/+35Can't run a country, but he can certainly dodge a shoe.
- sorepheet, on 12/14/2008, -21/+52Who throws a shoe? Honestly! You fight like a woman!
- inactive, on 12/14/2008, -1/+24There is no shame, The journalist went ballistic because the main guy who started this false war was there. And more than likely he has had friends/family killed by Bush's orders, indirectly of course.
- AndySavage, on 12/14/2008, -2/+25Christ, It's an Austin Powers quote. He's not actually berating the guy for throwing a shoe.
- SeeingtheLight, on 12/15/2008, -0/+22Reporters will no longer be able to wear their shoes to press conferences.
- moulin1, on 12/15/2008, -2/+24Has someone made the "Hit Bush with a shoe" flash game yet? I can't find it.
- Azathothh, on 12/15/2008, -0/+21he's probably in Guantanamo now, listening to Metallica and NIN...
- quinlan, on 12/15/2008, -0/+20i gotta give him some props for how stylish he made it look.
- sublimer, on 12/14/2008, -4/+22I'm impressed a former coke addict could dodge a shoe like that.
- 68024, on 12/14/2008, -6/+24These comments suck, and so does the submitter's headline, which doesn't even refer to the shoe-throwing incident.
- Subterfug, on 12/15/2008, -0/+17OH MY GOD
George Bush is capable of bullet time! - vulpescry, on 12/14/2008, -2/+19“Is it time to go home yet? I keep clicking these damn shoes, but nothing happens”
- jack222, on 12/14/2008, -2/+18Hell, that's better then nothing
- hellomms, on 12/14/2008, -5/+21This is how they say "Good-Bye" to the dictators.
About 8 years ago they did the same thing...to Saddam, see for yourself...

- col381, on 12/15/2008, -0/+13and he had a strangely ironic username also - sorepheet!!! you just can't write this stuff
- rdldr1, on 12/14/2008, -2/+14!Grammar alert! = code red.
- iNiz, on 12/14/2008, -1/+12..I'd prefer...HADOKEN!
- MooseJawMan, on 12/15/2008, -1/+12Now we're going to have to register all our shoes. High heels and steel toes will be banned and only flip-flops will be allowed into press conferences. China, being the biggest exporter of shoes, will have to be invaded in order to suppress the manufacture of weapons of mass distraction...
- foohookups311, on 12/15/2008, -1/+11yeah i have to say I think Bush actually still got the best of this journalist. First, he dodged both of his shoes and then smiles about it and jokes about it afterwards. If I was the journalist I would be fuming right now that Dubya beat him at his game after planning that shoe attack.
All those workouts at the president's gym and not enough attention to real issues gave Bush a quick reaction time. - wonkavsn, on 12/15/2008, -2/+12Hey Dubya, I have a better explanation as to why he did it:
"Iraqi restaurant blast kills 50" right beneath that story.
Honestly, is Bush missing a chromosome or something? The guy probably lost family members, like so many others, over this whole unnecessary war. - AndySavage, on 12/14/2008, -3/+11Whatever is still left of it, anyway.
- Illeto, on 12/14/2008, -2/+10You should change the title. The current one completely belies the awesomeness of the video
- k3rfuffl3, on 12/14/2008, -4/+11This explains a lot about how Bush ignores the American people: "Awww... They're just trying to get attention while their economy is collapsing."
- iLEZ, on 12/15/2008, -0/+6That's what i call thinking on your feet!
- cmhartle, on 12/14/2008, -11/+17by far the most impressive thing George has done during his presidency. And how about the swift action by his secret service. Where the hell are they?
- inactive, on 12/15/2008, -2/+8WHOOSH
- WildNelson, on 12/15/2008, -0/+6He knows Kung Shoe.
Alright alright, that was bad. - inactive, on 12/15/2008, -0/+6Bush has always been good at dodging.
- herrferret, on 12/15/2008, -0/+5The internet is gearing up for one hell of a Meme
My favorite so far is this

- studentforever, on 12/15/2008, -4/+9I salute the guy. you did it dude.
i am with you. - raintheory, on 12/15/2008, -0/+4yeah and you get a free ring tone if you hit him!!!
- andykt, on 12/15/2008, -4/+8I hope the next journalist has a better aim and something heavier to throw.
- bcm79, on 12/15/2008, -0/+4Perhaps a shoe isn't the only thing to go over his head?
- paolo03, on 12/15/2008, -2/+6dugg for guts
- inactive, on 12/15/2008, -0/+4judging by the look Bush gave after it all, probably...
That snide smartass grin he gets..f*&%king snake he is. - whodaimen, on 12/15/2008, -0/+3I'm fairly certain he's mentioned his capability of smoking things out as well.
- davidlt, on 01/18/2009, -0/+3Wow, you people have absolutely no respect for president Bush. His administration has given freedom back to the Iraqis and protection to America. And all you can do is praise this idiot journalist. Nice.

Awesome.
- pintomp3, on 12/15/2008, -0/+3the secret service are going to sock it to him now.
- nixdoctor, on 12/14/2008, -2/+5It's to cull out people who actually read the articles rather than just digging based on headline.
- FreakyT, on 12/14/2008, -1/+4When I submitted it, the title was as you see it on Digg. I guess BBC agrees with you.
- Greengoo, on 12/15/2008, -0/+3I came to this thread to make that comment. I should have known there's no way I'd be the first.
- inactive, on 12/15/2008, -0/+3Dugg for the description.
