    Great minds, etc.

      Well, I'm sure US justice will work its course. Seven years waterboarding in Guantanamo Bay with no access to a lawyer will make him see the error of his ways.

        Apparently chucking your shoes at someone is just about the worst insult possible in Islam. Well, that was advanced as part of the defence case in one trial I worked in recently, and so it must be true.

            It is true, as is pointing the bottoms of your shoes at someone while you're wearing them.

              He's probably used to Laura chucking things at his head at home.

                It would have been better if he had got his third one off and we'd have seen one of the secret service guys walk out with only one shoe on and a big grin.

                  His bodyguards weren't that great, were they. Nobody moved except for him.

                    Yeah. Nobody seemed willing to take a shoe for the president.

                        Indeed. In what is normally a sole destroying profession.

                            Satisfying.

                            What the fuck is he talking about afterwards? he sounds like he's trying to remember Alanis Morissette lyrics.

                            It's like driving down the street and not having people not gesturing at you with all five fingers.
                            What, not waving at you? What's an "all five-finger gesture"?

                              Headlines if they'd found their target:

                              'Bush involved in Middle-East heeling process'

                              'Shot-action pump gun'

                              'President well-heeled'

                              'Bush gets boot'

                              'Shoe on shit'

                                He's certainly no flip-flopper.

                                  Man, that is so close to hitting him both times, and it would have almost taken his head off. It's great technique, too. To get that sort of accuracy he needs maximum rotation speed on the shoe, so he needs to really wang it.

                                  In the end, bush is saved by two great reaction dodges. Great performances all round, there.

                                      We shouldn't be so surprised by Bush's reactions. After all, his superb ducking and hiding instincts were demonstrated clearly on 9/11.

                                        Lucia, he's listing unpleasant things that happen to him and he's basically saying that people salute him using less than 5 fingers... I'm guessing mainly it's just one finger.

                                        For once I actually thought GB wasn't a total dick, he showed good reaction, stood his ground and didn't hide and then talked some sense on the topic.

                                          Funny, I watched it and thought, what a total dick.

                                            I thought he took it rather well. I mean if someone had just chucked their shoes at my head, I a) probably wouldn't have got out the way of both of them, and b) definitely wouldn't have been that collected afterwards. I'd have probably chased the bastard out the room and tried to lamp him.

                                            Of course, I wouldn't have had the shoes thrown at me in the first place because I've not done a lot of the things that George W. Bush has done. But if that was the first time I'd ever become aware of GWB's existence, I wouldn't have thought he was a dick.

                                              Better at dodging flying shoes than David Beckham, anyway.

                                                  'Welly Throwers Finger' is a medical condition caused by hyper-extention of the index finger whilst throwing wellington boots. Those of you with a PubMed or ScienceDirect account will find the seminal paper on the subject in the December 22 - 27 1986 issue of the BMJ.
