A Wise man once said "throw a shoe, fool me once. Wait throw a shoe;well, whatever ur not going to fool me is all I'm sayin". And as far as respect and powerhouse I think that went out the door a few years back. We owe China so much dinero when it's due its due.

In Muslim cultures throwing a shoe can be a sign of great disdain.

However, Bush wasn't actually the target, and it wasn't actually a shoe. See the unedited video here ...

Really a sad, sad day. To think we are so hated that an ass-wipe reporter throws a shoe at the President of the United States. The local news coverage (I'm in Philly today) is very constrained, if an American threw a shoe at the towel head leader the whole region would have a demonstration with AKs fired in the air and they would behead 10 of us in retaliation. Never thought I'd say it, we need to leave that shit hole and then make it a smokin hole.
Every single word could not have been said better.

If you can dodge a shoe, you can dodge a ball.

I think the SS wanted to see Bush get hit with the second shoe as much as the rest of us (except for the 30% who approve of him) so they sat back and enjoyed their front row seats to the main event.

Someone was not doing their job. Some of them wouldn't really have had a job in a few months anyway. This is like an early release for some of those guys I'm sure. I am sure that because of our reputation in that area he would have more likely been assassinated than the USSS shoot a terrorist disguised as a terrorist. It's sad really that we don't kick ass and take names later like we used to. Now we take names and threaten to kick ass "unless" for far too long. Thank the bleeding heart liberal ass clowns that want to "do things diplomatically".

I heard today, if you can believe this, since it was an Iraqi state function the US-SS must take a second seat and keep the Iraqi detail in front. If W was properly trained by Mr. Miyagi he would of snatched that first one in flight and tossed it right back before Hadji got the second one off.

The shoe bit is the lowest form of disrespect in Arab & Muslim culture. Probably cus they walk around w/shit on their shoes all day. Ever see a "non-western" toilet?

In Somalia we never did our homework with that country either and when our boys were sitting in the door of the Blackhawk flying over that slum hole, well we did not make to many friends there to say the least. Those aholes just had to look up and see 8 pairs of boot soles. Fookthem

regardless if we approve or disapprove of ANY Pres of the US, he deserves our respect. We can disagree with his policies, but he is still OUR President. Any COCKSUCKER from overseas who disrespects our President in any way should get an asskicking. I hope that reporter or whatever he was dies a nice, slow, miserable death. As US citizens, we can talk politics and disagree, but screw these foriegners who bash our president.

We are the best country in the World. WE are the most generous. We are #1, screw the rest of them.

I would like to apply for Secretery of State.

i will probably disagree with most things that Obama does. like today during a press conference he was very wishy washy on the question if he will approve offshore drilling. I just want to hear...YES.

but i will NEVER laugh if some scum foreigner throws a shoe at him, or even insults him verbally.

I am mortified by the inaction of a member of law enforcement. To not do one's job is deplorable. The agents assigned to President Bush's detail are worthless as far as I am concerned.

And The Iraqis are in the front as was stated earlier, but the Secret Service is still in sight to protect the man. Someone better go back and re read their manuals. It is the Details job to protect the President at anytime, anywhere. It is never, and I mean never left to another country to defend, protect or support the President. Someone is going to get his ass handed to him with this one.

As far as making jokes, to me, it makes no matter if it is Bush, Clinton, Obama or someone else. It does not matter if you like Bush or not, he is still the President.

Let's see if some like it if this happens to President Elect Obama. I think not.

Respect is earned, not given. Bush had my respect until he lied to the American public and cheated us out of billions of dollars...just for starters.
