Crusader Bush. Not afraid of hijacked commercial airliners OR tossed shoes. Fearless. Mighty.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

UPDATE at 5:08PM:

CNN reports that Bush compared the shoe-throwing incident with heckling during a political rally and described it as "a way to gain attention"

"So what if the guy threw his shoe at me?" Bush told a reporter in response to a question about the incident.

"Let me talk about the guy throwing his shoe. It's one way to gain attention. It's like going to a political rally and having people yell at you. It's like driving down the street and having people not gesturing with all five fingers.

"It's a way for people to draw attention. I don't know what the guy's cause is. But one thing is for certain. He caused you to ask me a question about it. I didn't feel the least bit threatened by it.

2. How would you know Bush?

You have not allowed protesters anywhere near you because you are a pathetic crybaby that can't take criticism. You penned them into free speech zones, remember? You probably actually thought that was a pretty nice thing for you to do, huh? Actually allowing them to exercise their human rights? The point is Bush, if you actually had the guts to go out and face the people that you've fucked over instead of always hiding from them, you'd get a lot more than shoes thrown at you.

3. Guess that explains

why he has to constantly sneak into Iraq like a thief in the night. Because he's just so damn brave and heroic.
