1. Man, the Texas Rangers always need good arms

They sure suck in the pitching department. Looks like this guy has a pretty good arm. Sign him up!!!

[ColbertWatcher]

18. I don't know ...

He looked pretty close and he still missed.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

47. High and inside. But he could work on it.

[RoseMead]

2. Bless him

and his strong right arm.

[Liberal_in_LA]

3. looks like one journalist is attempting to deflect the throw

[ColbertWatcher]

19. I read that two shoes were thrown and ...

... in that picture, it doesn't look like anyone was blocking him.

[Liberal_in_LA]

23. You haven't watched the video yet? Yes, two shoes are thrown.

[ColbertWatcher]

32. I have seen the video (after I posted). I guess "flowers and candy" doesn't translate well. n/t

[Dangerously Amused]

60. Nah, he's like, "Dude, your aim is a little off. Here, let me help you."

[Divine Discontent]

4. hahahahaha... look how MOST everyone around him is GIVING HIM ROOM TO THROW!

so funny... that darn reporter that pushed his arm prevented a freaking funny clip from turning into one for the ages!

These designs on dozens of different shirts, button, stickers, mugs & more! http://www.cafepress.com/warisprofitable/1434671

[malaise]

8. I'm betting 10 million views

on UTube before the week is finished. :rofl:

[Divine Discontent]

12. I'll certainly do my part! IT'S FRIGGIN HYSTERICAL! lol oem

[JackRiddler]

62. Um, counting all media it'll be closer to 20 billion total views.

[Doremus]

5. A true hero! n/t

[BlooInBloo]

6. Avatar made!

[Ishoutandscream2]

7. Absolutely beautiful!! STILL LMAO

the gift that keeps on giving.

[BlooInBloo]

9. He's a better American than 1/2 of *actual* Americans.

[Shardik]

26. Thanks.

Hope you don't mind my copying it and using it myself. :)

[BlooInBloo]

29. Let it spread, let it spread, let it spread...

:)

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. Beat ya to it!

LOL

[EFerrari]

10. The people around him aren't exactly falling over from horror or disapproval

are they?

[alsame]

41. Especially Maliki. He doesn't even flinch when the first shoe goes

flying by and barely makes an effort to stop the second one. I'll bet he was hoping Bush would get knocked out.

[lligrd]

11. My Hero nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. I'll be looking for him on opening day

Nice delivery, great follow through.

[KansDem]

14. I can't find the avatar!

Is it under "shoe thrower" or "thrower, shoe?"

[BlooInBloo]

17. I made one. Not sure how other ppl are supposed to use it tho...

The filename I uploaded was: showthrower.jpg

Looks like the DU name for it is: personal/186399.jpg

[KansDem]

25. Thanks!

:hi:

[BlooInBloo]

30. np.

[ColbertWatcher]

48. Here's an avatar-sized animated gif ...

[proud2BlibKansan]

50. Awesome!

Stolen from ya. Thanks!!

On edit - it's telling me this is too big?

[hootinholler]

52. Dang!

Got that full size? :rofl:

-Hoot

[Dangerously Amused]

61. Awesome!!! Thanks!

[proud2BlibKansan]

49. Just copy it and paste the code into your avatar setting

Or you can copy and use my sig pic.

[Bozita]

15. I don't give a shit. I think the Lions should draft him.

[mzmolly]

45. LOL

He did have excellent aim. Especially considering it was a shoe.

[lib2DaBone]

16. American Reporters.... Next In Line for the "Big Shoe Award"....

David 'rappin Rove' Gregory

David Brooks

Bill O'Reilly

William Kristol

[Bozita]

51. "We've got a really big shoe tonight!" - Ed Sullivan

[hootinholler]

53. Did Bush do the Big Shoe Dance?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVKsd8z6scw

-Hoot

[liberalmuse]

20. HAHAHAHAHA!

That is awesome. The guy is an international hero. I really wish it would have hit Bush square in the face.

[mzmolly]

21. Gosh, what's got him so upset?

:sarcasm:

[Guaranteed]

34. I know! Like Bush said, "I don't know what his cause is."

Sometimes people just want attention, you know?

[Bozita]

36. I just love it when Bush shows off his analytical skills.

[mzmolly]

42. Yes

that explains it! :crazy:

:hi:

[nichomachus]

22. You all missed the point

The shoe was filled with candy and flowers.

:rofl:

[liberalmuse]

24. Or pretzels? n/t

[Doremus]

27. I'll donate to his legal fund. n/t

[sam sarrha]

28. he's really lucky it wasnt a flaming bag of shit

[robinlynne]

31. handsome.

but I dont think there's anything funny about it. He is going to go through all kinds of hell for what he did. He possibly risked his life to do that.

[aquart]

35. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Unless, of course, he was dragged away by Iraqis who give him a cigar and congratulations.

[robinlynne]

38. I read somewhere that a close friend of his was tortured to death.

[DearAbby]

33. That is a 9 EE the most deadliest shoe in the world

with a range that would drop a dope within ten feet, do you feel lucky ...well do ya, Punk??

[ACTION BASTARD]

37. Good form, full extension even with a little cockblocking going on

Even though he got 2 shoes on target, he NEEDS work on his curve-ball.

[uppityperson]

39. HE was kidnapped, tortured, released as a journalist. More info...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4650443&mesg_id=4650443

At first I thought it was because of the crap going on, then because a colleague had been kidnapped and tortured but found out it was HIM who was kidnapped, tortured, released somehow. Shit.

[mzmolly]

43. I hope someone will throw him a microphone,

so we can hear his story. :(

[book_worm]

44. 99.9% of us here wouldn't have had the guts to do what he did

[mzmolly]

46. I wouldn't have occurred to me.

But uhm, it does now. :evilgrin:

[proud2BlibKansan]

54. Ain't that the truth?

[Nikki Stone1]

55. Quick: somebody put this guy on a T-shirt!

Swamp Rat? You around?

[proud2BlibKansan]

56. I'd buy one

:)

[lonestarnot]

57. T shirt! Need tshirt!

[Ganja Ninja]

58. My new hero! n/t

[sofa king]

59. I saw this show once called CSY, or something like that...

And using similar forensic skills, I conclude that the perpetrator was "gleeful" while committing this horrible crime.



But we'll probably torture him again, just to make sure.
