  • Too bad he wasn't a better aim.....

  • On the other hand, Bush dodged pretty gracefully.

    Let's see Dick Nixon do that.

  • I wonder if this means that reporters will need to surrender their footwear at the door before news briefing? I wonder if they're already run through a metal detector...?

  • I'm assuming anyone in Iraq in Bush's presence has been through the metal detector.

    They probably do that for Maliki.

  • I think this should put to bed any rest any conspiracies that he's still a drunk. Those are some decent reflexes for an old guy.

  • His face is so blotchy sometimes and he has a little face bloat when he's been hitting the sauce hard. He looks good in the video. His face is thinner.

  • Jeff, I have no idea, but he did dodge casually. Seemed particularly unconcerned that it might have been something more dangerous.

    ....

    agnostic, Well, he hasn't been governing too hard, so he's probably been working out.

  • The larger story here is not Bush's reflexes, but pent up resentment, contempt and hatred many in Iraq feel for Bush (and the US?). This shoe throw is an every-man hero, it seems, in the streets of Baghdad. To incarcerate him is to create a martyr.

    There is not peace in Iraq. There is merely a lid clamped on a pressure cooker.
