    I suppose I should not find this funny, but I did snigger.

    CrooksandLiars has more.

    I'm surprised at how slow the SS seemed to be in reacting to this. I'm glad that no harm came to him, much as I despise him.

    If a mod can sort out the YT embedding above and delete this post, I'd appreciate it.

    I found it quite funny. Love how he is so calm and collected after it. Almost like he is used to it. Any childs hero. :D

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    I thought it was a funny and apt way for an Arab guy to vent his frustration. It just made Bush look pathetic, as usual.

    I received instructions via PM on how to change the post, but I'm no longer able to edit it myself, in any case.

    Bush certainly has good reactions!

    Well he has dodged a bullet for many years now, shoes would be a piece of cake.
    Have to say , i admire his humour , that's a cracking smile he gives just after the first shoe.:D

    I was amazed at his reactions, he was abit like a boxer. The reporter seems like abit of a looney to me though. He handed a note to a friend before he went in saying something like 'its glorious to die a martyer'. So his glorious act was.......throwing his shoes at someone. right ok :P

    Just as an update, the reporter is filing for asylum in Switzerland.
    Apparently he "can no longer work as a journalist without suffering horrible pressure." I don't think this is usually grounds for granting asylum, but anyway.

    I'm guessing that none of the Arab countries want him?
