My Train of Thought When Bush ducked the Shoe Attacks

16 December 2008 7 views 2 Comments

George Bush makes a surprise visit to Iraq, I suppose out of attempt to define his own legacy as he is about to leave his post, only to experience something so bizarre – shoes thrown at his face.

As I watched this delightful video and laughed, this was my train of thought.

  1. Wow good reflexes (as he dodges the first one).
  2. It would have been quite funny if the guy missed and hit the Iraqi PM instead. (as the journalist takes off another shoe and takes aim).
  3. Too bad it didn’t hit Bush the second time either (as the second shoe is also dodged).
  4. I wonder what size shoes he wore, and if they were steel toe? (as the security wrestles the guy down)
  5. I’m hungry. I should go put something in the oven (as Bush is nervously smiling and asking people to calm down).
  6. I wonder, how would I react if I found Narnia beyond the depths of my oven in my kitchen?
  7. How come they never make those fantasy movies with an Asian protagonist?

But my point is that… it was a funny and delightful moment and it made my day.

I have to say; this moment as an American, both made me cringe at the thought of degredation as low as shoe throwing, as well as laugh my ass off- I’m not sure which one I should tell people though… lol

I’ve been hit by a shoe couple of times.

Apparently, it’s either A. not as degrading in Korea as it is in the Middle East, or B. Degrading is a perfectly fine expression of sentiments in Korea. Gotta love my homeland!

Most of the time I hit the people back with my shoe. I only hope that mine were dirtier.
