“Throw a shoe at me once, shame on you. . .”
At 23/6, Jon Friedman has some questions for the Secret Service.
1. Shouldn’t you have jumped in front of that shoe?
2. Shouldn’t you have jumped in front of that second shoe?
3. Second shoe = the one thrown after being removed from foot after first shoe was thrown.
4. Let’s say people had three feet. Would you have allowed a third shoe to fly unimpeded?
It wasn’t this shoe.

LOL @ questions. Probably didn’t think it was life threatening? Wouldn’t it be funny if all the Iraqis in the room started throwing their shoes / chairs / notebooks / turbans / random objects at George? That would’ve been a hell of a statement.

Too bad for the Security Personnel. There was a long delay for the second shoe’s flight, and all they did was look in childish wonder and said, “oh look, a flying shoe! And there goes another one!”
Hmm.

I attribute the lame response of his Secret Service detail to 2 things: 1) half of them have been reassigned to Obama 2) they’d been downgraded to a ultra low-level alert given that with Bush leaving office at a 20% approval rating, assasination would actually be an act of mercy. That would only save him from a long retirement of agonizing guilt over the shed and wasted blood of thousands upon thousands of Iraqi civilians and American military personnel.

The Secret Service thought Bush was just playing “lame duck president” with the Iraqi reporter.
