Iraqis are better people than Americans.

Cultural context

The report on CBC radio stated that throwing shoes is a supreme insult and that the man was calling Bush a pig (that is an insult as well).

Missed me! Ha ha ha! Missed me again!

That is great! Bush is adept at dodging -- I bet he could go town to town in a traveling show dodging shoes. It would be a hit!

No. The Dude's aim was almost bang-on. Bush is just way too good at ducking. See my most recent entry.

Bush sucks, and the war was wrong, period.

But I'm wondering where this noble Iraqi was during the near 25 years that Saddam was engaging in his own illegitimate invasions and ethnic-cleansing the fellow countrymen of this better form of human being. Provided a legitimate Iraqi journalist was allowed unfettered access in a press conference, I'm wondering if Captain Badass here would've felt as emboldened to take his shot. I'd be surprised and impressed.

That said, I did enjoy watching this, as well as feel more than a little embarrassed about this clown still speaking and acting in my name.

So is this the first president who's had shoes thrown at him by a private citizen?

[info]elffin

December 15 2008, 12:29:45 UTC 3 years ago

Spontaneously, in Iraq, on TV, while the Secret Service went - "Oh fucking 'ell, mates, stub yer cigs, some punter is acting up out front!" - Yes.

Here's a news story that goes with the picture.

[info]theweaselking

December 15 2008, 02:55:12 UTC 3 years ago

I'm quite aware. And yet, the news story doesn't add anything to my post: Iraqis consider Bush to be the worst form of scum and do the most insulting thing they can imagine to him. Americans? They call him "president". Iraqis are, unambiguously and without doubt of any kind, better people than Americans.

The amusing thing is watching Bush's expression. It's kinda half 'haha, you missed me!' and 'what the hell? Uhh.. this isn't good, huh?'

It looks like they're actually trying to catch the second shoe. Hrm.

As an Iraqi citizen, the thrower will probably not be arrested and detained indefinitely. Hell, once out of sight from the Americans, his captors will probably high-five him.

By contrast, the same stunt pulled by a Yank will probably bring the Secret Service down on him for life. Remember, we can't even flip the presidential convoy off without getting fired. So much for free speech.

agreed.

americans are terrified of what their own government will do to them if they even tried to say something against the ones in power.

even i am still rightly-petrified that the secret service has my LJ on file because of the anti-bush and anti-government things i have said.

and we have reason to be scared. that guy has more balls than i probably ever will have.
