By now everyone’s heard the story of an Iraqui journalist throwing a shoe at Bush. Actually he threw BOTH shoes! If you watch the video, you can see that no one got up or entered the room until AFTER the second shoe was thrown.
I understand someone throwing a show at the man responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his countrymen. But here’s my question: HOW DID THIS GUY HAVE TIME TO THROW NOT ONE BUT TWO SHOES AT THE PRESIDENT. Where was the Secret Service?
My point is that soon we’ll have a new President who will be a target for reasons both old and new, and whose life will be in the hands of the Secret Service. I seriously hope they are more on the ball than they appear to be in this video.
On a lighter note, my favorite line in this video is: “Lemme talk about the guy throwing the shoe.”
