| Unthreatening shoe throws |

Okay, this is absolutely priceless footage.

Of course Bush didn't feel threatened, the guy had lousy aim, shoulda gotten Rothlisberger or Randy Johnson (of pigeon-exploding fame), or Imelda Marcos (probably knew shoes well enough to be intimate with their aerodynamic tendencies) to stand in for him.
This poor journalist probably got beaten up pretty badly for his effort -- anyone who tried that here would surely get shot several times. I'd like to shake his hand, give him a medal of valor, and kiss his hairy, smelly, unshod feet.
Keep an eye on Nouri al-Maliki in the video. Notice that altho he puts his hand out to try to block the second shoe, he barely moved a muscle when the first one came flying. Also worth noting that the journalists surrounding the thrower made no attempt to stop the second throw when they knew who threw the first one.
