[...] Ann Compton answers the question that many of us had about the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President Bush: Where was the Secret Service? U.S. Secret Service officials in Washington say they are satisfied [...]

He looks like he is a professional shoe ducker!

Yeah, that was a pretty impressive move. I'm sure he has been practicing it since he usually has to sit next to poster-boy-for-gun-safety, Cheney, in cabinet meetings.

That's a really good Iraqi disguise Keith Olberman used.

Perhaps this guy can co-author a book with "Joe" the "Plumber" on how 15 minutes of fame can change a life.

He looks like he is a professional shoe ducker! My mom used to throw her shoes at us because she could hit us without getting up. I wonder if the guy will be in jail the rest of his life.

The unfolding economic disaster has many parents but I would say the republicanism form of governance which Bush subcribed to and implemented is the main reason.

Huh? I thought we were going to be greeted as liberators. Apparently the journalist didn't get the memo.

Also not a huge fan of Bush's policies, but I thought he handled the shoe throwing pretty well. Not so sure that was true about the secret service letting that second shoe fly.

I think we can expect the same trend for Bush in the future.

Should be interesting, statues can't duck...

What I wonder is, where was the Secret Service? Were they so out of position that they were unable to protect the President from the 2nd shoe?
The POTUS had just been assaulted... Shouldn't they have been at the Presidents side immediately?

I'll bet heads are going to roll.

There are more statues and monuments to Ronald Reagan in Eastern Europe than there are in the United States.

I think we can expect the same trend for Bush in the future.

Heh, "It’s not inconceivable" was a faint claim .. to see it followed by "It’s much less likely that Bush’s image will be rehabilitated at home." Ouch!

His resentment over the war, then, is understandable; the degree to which it’s representative of Iraqi public opinion is unclear.

Considering that Bush still had to make his plans in secret and didn't announce this trip, I'd say it's clear what the state of Iraqi public opinion is...
