"Like driving down the street and people not gesture you with all 5 fingers"........

Who throws a shoe? Honestly.

You fight like a girl

I agree, Phones are a much better option, See Russell Crowe & Stephen Williams.

Could this be the beginning of a new trend? Who'll be the first to actually scone the war pig on the snout?

A little Psyber moment having been to the middle east. DB it's a cultural thing. No idea of the history of it but showing the bottom of your feet (with or without shoes) is one of the biggest insults over there. My guide always gently reminded me about it whenever we were invited to join locals for refreshments.

Don't know if you watched it on tv at the time but when the Yanks put on that performance over there of pulling down the Saddam statue most of the locals started hitting it with shoes.

To quote David Brent, "He's thrown a shoe over a building, what have you ever done?"

Great clip by the way, hadn't seen that one before. A shame a brick wasn't inside it.

The irony in all this is that they are still holding the reporter without charge. Didn't you bring democracy to this State, Mr Bush?

How slow were security to 'act' ... the other reporters were up before them

should of wacked him right between the eyes.

That was some feet!
He felt like a heel.
The President now has a soul.
That missle was laced with something.
It's the closest thing he's ever had to the tongue.

The reporter obviously had a bad ad jingle in his head at the time.....
'Shoe Shed Shoe Shed Leave the others for dead'........ sing it everybody....

Cheers JAS. Sorry, I should have quoted Austin "Danger" Powers.

I reckon is he aimed a bit lower, say at the guts region, he would have connected. He would have needed to side step and perhaps may have been caught in two minds about whether he could duck or step, then as he recovers from the first, the second shoe could have sconned him between the eyes.
