Shoe thrown at POTUS (Bonus: find Waldo, er DDan, in the crowd)

[xj220]

My favorite article is from CNN where this shows up (exact quotes) "In Arab culture, throwing shoes at someone... is considered an insult." NO SHIT.

Well, I guess it's progress that the Iraqis can express themselves like that now. Nobody would have dared to throw a shoe at Saddam while he was running the show.

Wrong country. He was in Afghanistan. That said, I think the same thing can be said about the Taliban.

Edit: D'oh!!!

Every report I've read said it was in Baghdad. I believe he's since continued to Afghanistan...

The Cubs are now in contract negotiation with the Iraqi journalist. They plan to use him as their closer next year.

Nothing like signing another player that will meltdown in the playoffs!

POTUS? Really...

 

[KCOTT]

looks like he'll need to buy another pair of shoes

"who throws a shoe? Honestly!" LOL

Haha!

Frankly, I'm a little surprised the guy is still breathing. Thankfully he is. I can't imagine the news coverage of that...

Now I know why they make us take them off at the airport. If a shoe is good enough to threaten el presidente with, then it's good enough to threaten a flight crew with. We'd better continue to err on the side of retardation when it comes to airline safety.

 

[voodooqueen]

LOL--is there a culture wherein shoe throwing is not an insult?

I had the opportunity to stand behind him and shake his hand after his speech at the palace tonight. He gave me a big grin when I told him Go Navy Beat Army.

Its been an interesting couple of weeks. Ive gotten to meet both R Lee Ermy and shake hands with the President.

Wheres Dangerous????
