Selected responses by US Presidents-if shoes had been thrown at them.
-Washington. No shoes would have gotten near the Great One.
-Jackson. “You son of &^!” Bang! Sound of body hitting the ground.
-Lincoln. He wouldn’t have noticed. His own cabinet was throwing far worse at him, not to mention the Rebels without a clue. Maybe would have challenged the reporter to a ten hour free ranging debate.
-Coolidge. Who? Come on there was a President Coolidge?
-Teddy Roosevelt. The shoe would have bounced off and he would have continued his speech (only President to give a speech after HAVING BEEN SHOT-Bully!). Later we he would have murderized him in a boxing match.
-Hoover. Would have raised taxes.
-Truman. See Teddy Roosevelt.
-Kennedy. Would have been hit by the shoe. If the thrower were male would have had Johnson launch an Apollo rocket at him. If female, would have invited her on a personal tour of the Whitehouse.
-Ford. Ford would not have been harmed but would have tripped over the shoe on the way out.
-Reagan. Shoes have no chance against the Power of the Dark Side.
-Bush (elder). What?
-Clinton. See Kennedy.
-Shrub. Well we saw that didn’t we.

The reporter was briefly captured previously by militants; militants being paid by the U.S. to have a "cease fire".
Also, I know this might be a bit difficult to fathom, but some Iraqis whose families were killed in the invasion might just be a little mad at America.

Acording to AP, he could be jailed up to 2 years for offending a foreign leader. I hope he is not, it would be excesive, a fine a to put him in the "people I don´t want at my next press conference" list should be enough.
Anyway I swear Bush was laughing when he saw the second shoe coming and he did wave back the secret service agent that went to cover him. Probably he was thinking: this is the lamest assasination attempt, ever.

Very lucky considering the Secret Service should have put about 40 rounds into him the moment it looked like he was going to throw something.

That's what the guy's brother says. The Iraqi police disagree. It's fully possible the police are lying, but it's just as possible the guy's brother is lying to make his brother seem like more of a martyr. Instead of, you, know. A failure. Who can't even hit Bush with the shoes.

Have to agree with Frazzle here. He's lucky he didn't get two in the dome.
I'm not going to rehash the Saddam or Bush, because that is irrelevant. If someone threw a shoe at the leader of France when he was here, He could expect real jail time.
It's not a referendum on Bush. If people are OK with shoes thrown at Bush, I hope they don't mind crap thrown at Obama. It's not about the person, it's about the office, and it's about the law.
If all he got was a few broken bones, then he should consider himself lucky. It might have even been worth it, if he didn't miss.
Have fun in the hoosegow, douche. Bush will enjoy his mansion, crying himself to sleep in his king-sized bed while you get the prison prom date.

And let's bear in mind that whilst he might well be having a bad time of it-- which I disagree with--
he's much better off being held by the current authorities than the previous regime.
Still, I figure h'es got a book out of it and a job for life with Al-Jazeera/similar now.
