So much for taking a boot for the president. I mean, sure...he's a heel. A loafer with no sole. But...Still the president. So maybe just a tongue-lashing would have sufficed.
What I also love is that the Iraqi prime minister made a feeble attempt to catch the second one. Maybe he was trying to show Bush that he and his country are finally ready to step up and start defending themselves...?
Which ought to be a relief to many Americans, who've been waiting for the other shoe to drop for some time, now.
he has the reflexes of a jungle cat!

LOL too bad the shoes weren't bricks, and that al-Zaidi wasn't a better shot.
