Man Throws Two Shoes at Bush in Iraq


SLOWLX

Recommended Posts

I wonder if any other president in the history of presidents has been assaulted like that? Fucking Shoes? I hear the worst insult you can give is to hit someone with your shoe. I remember when we tore down the Saddam Statue in Bagdad early in the war the Iraqis were throwing their shoes at the statue.

In Arabic culture, striking somebody with a shoe means something along the lines of, "You are beneath me" or "I wipe the shit from my feet upon you." It's an EXTREMELY insulting gesture, almost as bad as a slap to the face with the left hand.

 

Bush should have had the boys hold him down while he hit him with his shoes.

 

Seriously though, I thought that was a pretty slow reaction from the Secret Service.
