So I have one question about the Iraqi reporter who threw a shoe at Bush. <\/p>\n

How did he get the second shoe thrown?<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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.

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