Must say that was a pretty good dodge.

I heard in the paper there was a lot of stuff spoofing this on the net, but I haven't been able to find anything.

My best bet is tru .gif on 4chan.

Also, Bush is a ninja. He's always been good at dodging questions.

Well, it's just the sort of appropriately ridiculous event worthy of marking his last visit to the country he screwed over so royally. Yes, we all agree Saddam Hussein was evil, but starting this level of chaos without an effective plan? Madness.

CONSPIRACY!!! Did you notice the guy next to bush didn't even flinch! (well like 1%)

Yeh after this happened heaps of sh!t started to be made. Even an actual flash animation game.

Lastly Didn't the offender throw 2 of his shoes? I must say Bush looked like a pro, he may sound retarded and f*ck up speeches but man I want him on my dodge ball team.

I heard two games were made. One where you're George Bush and you dodge the shoes. And one where you're George Bush's body guard and you have to shoot the shoes before they hit Bush.

Danit, if you find any of this sh!t, post it!

Urgh. I love it how none of the news station ignore the significance of the throwing of the shoes.

The sole of the shoe is great sign of disrespect in their culture, its like saying "your less then the dirt I walk on". Its like our middle finger, that they wouldent understand.

Also, this guy was no nut-job, he was a journalist from a well known publication there. He might still have had a few screws loose, but he wassnt some random crazy who had snuck in.

So hell, good on him.
