A shoe at your head is worth two at the Bush?

Okay. Corny title. But this has been cracking me up all day: Yesterday, an Iraqi journalist threw both of his shoes at lame-duck Bush's head during his final presidential visit.

From The New York Times:

President Bush made a valedictory visit on Sunday to Iraq, the country that will largely define his legacy, but the trip will more likely be remembered for the unscripted moment when an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at Mr. Bush’s head and denounced him on live television as a “dog” who had delivered death and sorrow here from nearly six years of war.

Or check it out below. Who knew Dubya had such quick reflexes?



So, how long before tossing a shoe at Bush's head turns into a banner advertisement for insurance quotes or debt consolidation?

Thank you for throwing your shoe

And to answer my question: Approximately 3 seconds.
