shoes

has anyone seen this video? an iraqi journalist threw both of his shoes at president bush during a press conference with iraq's prime minister. did anyone else think that it took secret service a really long time to get moving? i mean the guy threw both of his shoes! he had to bend down to get the second one after he threw the first! a fellow journalist got up to stop him, pen and paper in hand, before any secret service members jumped in and did anything-- they were probably eating sandwiches in the adjoining room... you see how they all came hopping out of there. also, did you notice what cat-like reflexes bush has! i would've put my hands out to block them or more likely, gotten a boot to the face, but bush ducked like a pitcher on the mound. maybe he practices for such events. in any case, i'm impressed, and he must have felt kinda proud watching the replay.
