anon - a successful protest? Throwing a shoe at a presiden. What debate did he foster - which shoe is the most aerodynamic?

Of course. Iraqi journalists used to bombard Saddam Hussein with shoes throughout his regime. His security guards used to take them outside, give them a cup of tea, a new pair of flip flops and a jolly good ticking off. How we laughed at the carefree lives of freedom fighting journos in those happy pre war days.

Could have been a suicide bomber, but wasn’t it Bush who lobbed several mega weights of bombs at Iraqis.
Anyway it wasn’t meant to be funny , or fatal, just an insult

However - as comedy - it was brilliant.

It was a crap protest.
It was funny & Bush did a great duck and didn’t freak out even though the guy could’ve been a suicide bomber.
The only people who wont think the crap protest was funny are drips & people related to the protester.

This was not a failed protest. The only way this could have been worse for Bush is if he was hit square in the nose. This incident will rival the “mission accomplished” moment as the enduring image of the disaster that Bush’s presidency has been.

um, based on WHAT do you say that this protest failed? that bush was unfazed by it?

the protest made him look TERRIBLE. to stand there smirking while the protester is dragged away and beaten right outside the room — you can hear him crying out — brings bush’s international standing to a new low.

this story has been covered by all the major international newspapers, and readers all over the world are worrying about what’s going to happen to the protester, who’s still being held. and now the whole world knows how to insult an iraqi.

this is one of the most successful protests by an individual that i’ve ever seen. i hope he doesn’t suffer too much for it.
