Who Throws a Shoe?

[  Mood: Amused ]
So I have one question about the Iraqi reporter who threw a shoe at Bush.

How did he get the second shoe thrown?

Isn’t that why the Americans pay the Secret Service? To ensure that the second shoe, bullet, spear or other projectile is not lobbed at the President?

I mean, I can see how the first one went flying through the air, because, really, who throws a shoe? Outside of an Austin Powers’ movie. That can slip by anyone. But after the first piece of footware was pitched, the men who talk into their wrists should have been taking the wing-tip-tosser down. Or at least moving to do so.

As you can clearly see in the video, it is not until after the second shoe is discharged that the Secret Service starts moving. It is, in fact, some of the other Iraqi reporters who try after the first shoe to stop the guy.

The US is lucky this guy was only flinging footwear. Cause if he had been packing heat, it would have been much worse.

I suspect this will now be part of Secret Service training.
