Holy crap...an Iraqi journo throws his shoes at Bush

Want something that'll make you cry?

 

Let's see how good the reporting on this is:
Loafer or laces?
Tassles?
Size?
Amount of wear on the sole?
Inserts?
Heel height?
Was the thrower lefty or righty?
Distance thrown?
Estimated speed of the throw?
Bush's reaction time?

 

A good opportunity to put a reminder type of thread on the Journalism Topics board: Remember, we're not the story, people. ;D

But, huh, wow.

 

White Goodman: Go ahead, make your jokes, Mr. Jokey... Joke-maker. But let me hit you with some knowledge. Quit now. Save yourself the embarrassment of losing with these losers in Las Vegas, La Fleur.
Peter La Fleur: Alliteration aside, I'll take my chances in the tournament.
White Goodman: Yeah, you will take your chances.
Peter La Fleur: I know. I just said that.
White Goodman: I know you just said that.
Peter La Fleur: Okay, I'm not sure where you're going with this.
White Goodman: Well, I'm not sure where *you're* going with this.
Peter La Fleur: That's what I said.
White Goodman: That's what I'm saying to *you*.
Peter La Fleur: All right.
White Goodman: ...TouchÈ.

 

This could make a good Coors Light commercial.

 

Yeah, that was me ... and it is better with art. Mulligan.

 

The rest of the journos were like... "we didn't like that guy anyway."

 

There is nothing I could say to you that would make you set the Monkeys to flying, is there? Admit it.

 

Is that another hidden dig at me for never having seen Wizard of Oz?

For shame, Fenian.

 

Holy fuckin shit. You have no idea how hard that made me laugh.

 

Kinda like bringing a knife to a gun fight

 

Gotta echo the earlier comments -- was the Secret Service asleep at the switch, or what?

Some guy jumps to his feet and starts yelling in a room in the Middle East and he doesn't have a bullet in his skull by the third syllable?

Good grief. Gotta think the Israeli SS woulda stopped this guy cold.
