Those are some good reflexes, he reacted way faster then the Iraqi PM. Haha he did not even seem upset, he must be used to people throwing **** at him by now.
George has better defense than Margarito. LMAO! I almost pissed myself laughing man! When and where did this happen? That is too funny. During the second throw the guy on the right pathetically tries to block it with his hand. It looked like he was chucking shoes at him. That was a great weave by George, but he should've used the shoulder roll and countered with a shoe of his own.
Damn, George is gangsta! He was smiling the whole time similar to the way Floyd was smiling at De La Hoya while he was throwing shots.
Dec. 14 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush ducked two shoes thrown at him by an unidentified man during a press conference in the Iraqi prime minister's office.
Bush wasn't hit by the shoes, one of which sailed over his head. The president shrugged and said "I'm OK" after the incident in Baghdad today. "All I can report is it is a size 10," Bush said.
In Arab culture, throwing shoes is a grave show of disrespect. The man shouted an Arabic phrase, which an Iraqi present translated as "this is a farewell kiss, dog."
After U.S. troops pulled down a statue of former dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraqi bystanders tossed shoes at it, according to news reports at the time.
The man threw the shoes from about 25 feet away as Bush, with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, made formal remarks before the signing of an Iraqi-U.S. security agreement. Bush arrived today in Baghdad on a surprise visit.
The shoe-thrower, who was in a group of journalists, was wrestled to the ground and taken away.
"It doesn't bother me," Bush told reporters. "So what if he threw a shoe at me." The president said it showed free speech in a democracy. Maliki said nothing about the incident, after which the two leaders signed the agreement.
Those are some good reflexes, he reacted way faster then the Iraqi PM. Haha he did not even seem upset, he must be used to people throwing **** at him by now.
