Wasn't comparing. Was just pointing out the he too was a President.

As for Bush getting a shoe thrown at him, the worst that could happen from that is some embarrassment. That is why I said "too bad he missed". Throwing a shoe at someone is not an assassination attempt. It is something you would do to mock him.

I didn't realize. Thanks bud

The guy had amazing accuracy, I'm guessing he practices throwing his shoes a lot; probably at his wife and kids...

W handled it quite well, IMO.

Amazing accuracy...........?????
Need i remind you that he missed? :D

Not looking for George to get beaned;
but If the shoe man had aimed lower,
(right above the lectern)
It would have been a Bulls eye......:rolleyes:

Just noticed your avatar eric, in light of the Illinois situation I think you've slammed the wrong party!

:iagree:

Both sides can be equally bad.

:iagree: Yeah, glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that. W's ducking was impressive, but the velocity and forward rotation on those shoes was unreal! :yikes: Even better than a Tony Romo 50-yard completion to Terell Owens! If Iraq had an NFL league, this guy could be a starting shoe-back.

Not a fan of Bush but I think that he handled this one pretty well :thumbup:

I would have my security guys go and kick the sh** out of the shoe thrower!

lol@ iraqi football.

could u imagine the stench in THOSE locker rooms?

goodness me.

You may not respect the man in office...but, damn you have to respect the office for goodness sake...IMO
