International leaders and commentators have called for the "harshest possible punishment" to be used against the man who failed to hit George W Bush in the fucking face with his shoes.
At a press conference with Iraqi PM Nouri Maliki, an Iraqi journalist was wrestled to the floor by security guards after he called Mr Bush "a dog" and threw his footwear, just missing the president.
Politicians around the world have expressed shock and awe that he missed the president's grinning face, and insisted that if they had been there, there would have smashed the bastard's nose right in.

________________ TheMoMan Here __ From years ago I had become aware that in the Iraqi culture it is a total insult to allow some one to see the bottom of your shoes. I am unsure about how the custom came about or why it is an insult.
If you remember when the statue of Saddom fell the child slapping the face of the statue with his sandals was an insult to the then Iraqi ruler.
Maybe some one else can offer more info, so even if he missed Bush the Insult was delivered.

He's been arrested, and could face 7 years jail.
That's not fair, he really wouldn't hurt a sole.

To get past all that security, he must be a pretty good sneaker.

I don't know if seven years would be too long a punishment for this offense, but I'm certain that tennis.

Ten years for throwing some shoes?
That would be sandalous.

The guy missed, he obviously can't throw very accurately.
Maybe next time he should hire a shoe-throwing trainer.

I heard he missed because he lost his footing while throwing.
It seems the floor in the press room was slippery.

Now if he'd es-shoe-ed footwear throwing in favour of sneaking up on Dubya with a stilletto.... the result would be very different ![[evil]](graemlins/evil.gif)
