MSNBC reporting Dana Perino got a black eye from a microphone. Also reporting the Iraqi shouted "This is a good bye kiss, you dog." Shoes are a huge insult, btw.



Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki tries to block US President George W. Bush after an Iraqi man threw his shoes at Bush during a joint press conference and signing ceremony at Maliki's private office. An Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes and an insult at Bush, without hitting him, as the US president was shaking hands with the Iraqi premier at his Baghdad office on Sunday.

OK Bartenders - ASSIGNMENT - NEW DRINK

The Iraqi Shoe Bomb

Toss one down today

[arthritisR_US]

14. HA!!! that's brilliant, TY :-) n/t

[madamesilverspurs]

34. Hmmm,

Iraqi Shoe Bomb cocktail - would that be laced with GRENADE-ine?

[Phred42]

35. Yep

lol

That got to be part of it

[Sarah Ibarruri]

5. It's a good thing some people aren't pitchers! Someone with a better arm should've thrown the shoes

Scumbag Republicans belong in prison.

[Maru Kitteh]

28. Actually I thought the guy was pretty damn accurate - plus he was able to get BOTH shoes off

before they took him down.

Made my day!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

33. That guy was pretty cool! And interesting also was that those around him didn't....

tackle him till he got the other shoe off and threw it LOL!

The world hates this a-hole.

6. BWAHAHAHA x 2, just rolled on the floor 30 seconds ago!! nt

[MuseRider]

7. I can't breathe!

OMG why did it take this long? This is the funniest thing I have seen/read in a long time. No one deserves to have to duck from the missles of outrage more than this creep.

[Botany]

8. Get used to it chimpy boy

:rofl:

How about everybody going to the inguration stopping by the White House and throwing
an old shoe on the lawn for bush's last days?

[Ichingcarpenter]

"This is a good bye kiss, you dog." LOL!

Dana Perino also said that Bush would do nothing with
the Big 3 until he got back from Iraq which may effect markets
tomorrow. I think the black eye from a microphone is rather ironic.

[Vinca]

9. Priceless.

:rofl:

[arthritisR_US]

10. watching the news coverage on MSNBC, the thrower had really good aim....

bet he'd be great a darts :-)

13. lol...Myers is a genius. :^)

[MineralMan]

15. Everyone should mail an old pair of shoes to

the White House. Flat Rate Priority Mail box.

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. That would be funny

[GOPisEvil]

16. Props to al-Maliki for trying to block that second shoe.

:rofl::rofl:

I can't stop laughing.

[Liberal_in_LA]

23. Al-Maliki risked a shoe to the hand to save Bush.

[glitch]

29. Lol, while brave "bring it" bush cowers. nt

[stray cat]

17. If the shoe thrower gets away without being killed thats freedom

It may be a sign of progress if the person is only charged with assault.

[judasdisney]

30. That would be a false indicator.

Right now, Neocons are letting the "Good Cop" (Obama) be dominant because they have no choice.

When the Good Cop is wounded or gone, the Bad Cop will restore everything. And even more.

[Subdivisions]

18. OMG that was funny...

[lligrd]

19. Is That Our Commander In Chief Cowering

under the podium?

21. Mission Accomplished! n/t
