Video: The obligatory “Iraqi journalist throws shoes at Bush” clip
posted at 2:35 pm on December 14, 2008 by Allahpundit
Christmas comes early for the left. As one of our commenters snarked in Headlines, between this and the fact that the guy’s in media, he’s now qualified for his own show on MSNBC.
Maliki, to his credit, went for the block.
Update: The reporter is Muntazer al-Zaidi of Al-Baghdadia, which is based on Cairo. AFP says other journalists there apologized to Bush.

Dearie, we didn’t vote for Obama or Kerry because of that nonsense. It is doubly insulting to have a Republican do it.
angelat0763 on December 14, 2008 at 6:23 PM
Bushie’s liberators? If you’re trying to say what I think you’re trying to say, do you mean one of the liberated? And on that point, is there something negative about being liberated from Saddam Hussein that I haven’t thought of yet?
President Bush’s “legacy” is keeping us safe on American soil, in the face of an enemy that would have made 9/11 look like a county fair had it had its way.
Sounds like you appreciate his efforts about as much as this “reporter”. Whatever. There’ll be plenty of people soiling their pants the first time Obama faces anything near what Bush has dealt with. Then we’ll see what his “legacy” is.

The guy shouldve been shot for doing that, maybe he will be who knows. Good to see GW’s reflexes are still there though!
Viper1 on December 14, 2008 at 6:40 PM
Two points.
First, I went to Politico and read the comments about this story. Politico is looking less and less like a serious political site and more and more like Democratic Underground.
Second, I can’t wait until something like this happens to Obama. I will show Obama the same support that the left shows President Bush.

RJGatorEsq. on December 14, 2008 at 6:40 PM
Probably noted already, but I liked it that our President calmly waved off the security man with a simple “I’m alright,” and remained standing at the podium. I can think of a lot of politicians who would have been cowering behind it.
jackmac on December 14, 2008 at 6:44 PM
As a Yankee fan, this was probably the moment I decided to support pretty much whatever Bush did.
jimmy the notable on December 14, 2008 at 6:45 PM
President Bush has done a lot of things I didn’t “vote” for but Congress had the power and they let it happen. And if anyone thinks it isn’t going to happen in more and more after January 20, 2009 they are fooling themselves.

Wow! Was he ever a boxer?
Don’t care what anyone else thinks, I still love and respect our President. He’s a fine man who will be partly vindicated by the passage of time. He surely hasn’t been perfect, but I never doubted that he had our country’s best interests at heart.

Yeah piggy, you just keep telling that to yourself when history records Bush as the WORST guy to ever hold office and I’m including William Henry Harrison who died before he even had a chance to do anything. You’re a clown for thinking such nonsense. Iraq was about as much of a threat as Libya was during their 15 minutes in the 80s. Go watch some Hannity you putz…

Indefensible behavior by this journalist.
I’m disappointed he had enough time to throw the second shoe. Security was too slow.
Y-not on December 14, 2008 at 8:02 PM
So is it a good thing or a bad thing that these are the Secret Service agents that are going to be protecting Obama in a month?
Tabris on December 14, 2008 at 8:04 PM
Mr. Bush, though he seldom admits it, is desperately working on his legacy. He went to Iraq under the assumption that time heals all wounds, but over there, heels wound all the time so now at least he should clearly understand that time wounds all heels. I think, this is due to the associative property of geopolitical arithmetic, but I could be wrong because I don’t know that much about heels. I’m a sole man myself.
sashal on December 14, 2008 at 8:04 PM
Now, dk is clearly as organized mentally as the shoe thrower given if he made such a gesture to do such a thing under Hussein he’d be feeding maggots by now if there was anything left of him to feed the flys. So yes, dk, Bush did make it possible for idiots like the shoethrower to act up freely in Iraq and thankless, feckless people like you to show your ignorance and ingratitude for the great country and freedom God gave to you. You’ve also had over 7 years free from attacks by the people who butchered in Europe and India. I wouldn’t think you would appreciate it though given your bent to anarchy.
wepeople on December 14, 2008 at 8:04 PM
After 8 years,President Bush is really in good shape,
and his reflexes are as sharp as a tack!
So,theres one Iraqi in a million that has a beef,whoopee-
stinkin-doo,but still,the fact remains,that this Iraqi
journalist has made an attempt on the Presidents life!!
And now the kicker,If only the moonbats,and Lefty journal
ists knew how easy it would of been to remove their shoes,
or her stilettos,me thinks,there would of been a lot of shoe
throwing!
canopfor on December 14, 2008 at 8:05 PM
You could tell reporter “Ali Baba” was a liberal….this throw was wide left!
ohiorebel on December 14, 2008 at 8:06 PM
Hey ya big dk, history records can be a dangerous thing – they can show former leaders ignoring threats. UN resolutions ignored. And purgery. And stains on blue dresses…….. to name a couple. The worst president ever? What a dk……..head.

In the spirit of the season, I’d have to say it’s a bad thing.
I wonder if Secret Service’s hands are somewhat tied when the POTUS is overseas. The Iraqis may have been primarily responsible for security.
Y-not on December 14, 2008 at 8:14 PM
Where was the Secret Service. Like Chertoff’s house being cleaned by illegals. Heads should roll.
federale86 on December 14, 2008 at 8:15 PM
Seriously, if you watch the video, the Secret Service doesn’t respond at all until the second shoe has missed Bush. It takes a good 5 seconds for anyone to even move. That is absolutely ridiculous. A trained killer could easily take out the President in that period of time if the Secret Service does not get involved. Whoever was on his detail should spend the rest of their career tracking down counterfeiters.
Tabris on December 14, 2008 at 8:21 PM
If Bush had the quick thinking to fire one of his own shoes back, I guarantee his approval rating would have skyrocketed.
Potfry on December 14, 2008 at 8:23 PM
DK ,,,,, You can list all the faults of GWB but yet you have no solutions, neither did Kerry, or any democrat past LBJ. At least LBJ could see a threat. I am praying your city doesn’t get hit with a terrorist attack but then you again always say there are no threats. I pray that you are right. Plus I still don’t know what Kerry’s plan was. Remember some of us don’t want to convert to Islam and we won’t submit.
garydt on December 14, 2008 at 8:25 PM
That President Bush had to sneak in to Iraq one more time before the end of his tenure in office kind of says it all. The reporter’s shoe tossing is just so much window dressing on that basic and historic fact. So much for his legacy as one of the worst presidents ever.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 8:26 PM
That would have been childish. Thankfully Bush had the dignity to let the incident pass with humor instead of responding like a kid in junior high school.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 8:30 PM
Keep up, President Bush was NOT snubbed at G20. Might want to research the actual greeting and not the second round footage.

and Iraq begin to take root…
dec5 on December 14, 2008 at 8:35 PM
Starfleet, you know little of history, Lincoln was considered the worst president during the 64 election. McCellen wanted to make a deal with the Confederacy and even let them go and be seperate. Harry Truman was also hated at the end of his presidency and others too. What was your solution starfleet???? Can you name a war which mistakes were not made? Do you think appeasing works? What was Kerry’s plan and after four years I still don’t know. I just hope your city isn’t attacked soon and as I prayed earlier I sincerely hope that doesn’t happen.
garydt on December 14, 2008 at 8:36 PM
Yeah. Dignity has carried him quite far.
Potfry on December 14, 2008 at 8:38 PM
dec5, what happened in Iraq was a revolution as the U.S. toppled Saddam Hussein and the Shiite majority took power while the Kurdish minority asserted greater autonomy in northern Iraq. What Iraq has now is the sort of confessional democracy that Lebanon has had for decades and it’s not a recipe for stability and safety in Iraq any more than it’s been in Lebanon. Afghanistan is no better as the Pashtun faction we put in place after the U.S. toppled the Taliban has a precarious hold on power there. President Bush was happy to use war to boost himself politically at home, but his legacy is tragic as the U.S. sacrificed blood and treasure and goodwill for very little result.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Lincoln was President during a terrible, bloody and long civil war. During 1864 while the war drug on during Grant’s campaign in Virginia against Lee that sent thousands of Union soldiers to their graves in battles such as Spotsylvania and it’s “Bloody Angle” and especially Cold Harbor, McClellan’s appeal as a Peace Democrat was a very real worry for Lincoln. Thankfully for the Union, Sherman’s capture of Atlanta boosted the Union’s cause and Lincoln’s own electoral fortunes. As an English politician said when asked what was his greatest worry, he responded “events, dear boy, events.” Of course Lincoln’s trust in both Grant and Sherman did eventually lead to the Union prevailing over the Confederacy and to Lincoln’s stature as perhaps our greatest President.
I suppose there’s more I could learn about history though.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Starfleet you still don’t really want to answer but can you name any war that there were not mistakes made? Let me tell you there were none and all future wars by all others will make mistakes no matter how well they are planned. Lot of you Monday Morning Quarterbacks will probably won’t mind living under Islam law but there are lot of others that do mind. Don’t submit.
garydt on December 14, 2008 at 8:50 PM
garydt, mistakes such alleging WMDs were there to fool people in to supporting a war aren’t mistakes at all. They’re just lies. Saddam Hussein wasn’t a threat to the U.S. worth going to war over and the legacy of Bush will be to demonstrate just that.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 8:56 PM

“Glad to see you’re making use of that democracy you’ve got now. You’re welcome.”
Or something like that.
Little surprising he was able to get BOTH shoes off before security did something, though – what if it wasn’t ‘just a shoe’?
Reaps on December 14, 2008 at 8:57 PM
What are you, ten? You don’t remember Jimmy Carter? And if I respected your opinion enough to engage you in further conversation (just to be clear: I don’t), I’d ask you what you think would be better and safer about the world if Saddam Hussein were still alive and running things in Iraq. I’d ask you to tell me how leaving him in power would have made us more secure, what the world would look like today if that had been the path chosen, and as a bonus question, I’d ask you why – if what you say has the slightest bit of merit, other than to brainlessly brickbat the President – regime change in Iraq pre-dates George W. Bush’s administration by quite some friggin’ time, smart guy.
capitalist piglet on December 14, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Oh what horsespit.
BTW: Do you know how many American servicemen/women died while Clinton was president?
capitalist piglet on December 14, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Your facts about the War Between the States are correct but my point is that the war was getting to be very unpopular and Lincoln was getting to be very hated. Of course the South hated Lincoln and of course some of the Yanks did as well. The population of the USA and CSA was only about forty million and the over 600,000 deaths was a considerable percent of the total population. The easy thing do do is let the South go as Little Mac wanted to do. With Truman he was also hated when he left office and now his ranking has came up considerably. Democrats back then recognized threats but seem to dismiss them now.

How many died during Clintons reign???? Its easy to have no deaths when you put terrorism on the back burner. Putting off a problem will only make it bigger later on. Ask the Chamberlainites how that worked. Remember Hitler didn’t give up on the UK even after Dunkirk.

starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 9:04 PM
The proper name is the U.S. Civil War. Saying it was a war between states misses the key fact that it was a rebellion by those states who wished to end the Union and found a new nation where slavery would be legal and promoted as an institution.
Truman’s reputation went up due to his choice to not fight a “hot war” with the U.S.S.R., but to follow George Kennan’s suggested strategy of containment. It led to a stalemate in Korea, which did make Truman very unpopular at the time, but it was preferable to another world war.

garydt, fighting terrorism by going to war with countries that had nothing to do with it (yet another of Bush’s lies about Iraq was the sneaky allegation that Saddam Hussein supported al-Qaeda, which was not at all true) is just a waste of limited resources.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 9:13 PM
You still have no solution to “Bush lied, many died”???? What would you advocate ???? I doubt if you can bring Saddam alive again and reinstate him to power. There is always the problem that someone worse then Saddam will take power. Oh by the way The civil war did start under Lincoln’s reign and I do know that the Fort Sumter was attacked and the first shot done by the CSA but this was all done during under Lincoln. FDR said he owuld keep American boys out of foreign wars but of course no one could fault him for declaring war on Japan. Things change and I still don’t believe your claim that Bush lied.

The Secret Service fell down on the job here. It seems they were in the back room during the shoe throwing attack. They came out quickly enough, but by then the shoes had been thrown. It is their job to take a shoe for the president.

Containing Saddam Hussein’s regime was costing us about one billion dollars a year. We could have kept on doing that for 1000 years instead of going to war in Iraq.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 9:21 PM
capitalist piglet on December 14, 2008 at 9:00 PM
I know that 4200 Americans are dead from Iraq which is over 90% of the total coalition casualties. What does that tell you that America gets 90% of the body bags when Bush promised a full and involved coalition? Are the other countries better at dodging bullets? It means that Cowboy George went off half-cocked and the world was watching. Your hero has been rejected by America and the rest of the world and now you get to see Obama give the next 4 State of the Union speeches. Congratulations! However, if what you say is so true, why is Bush getting shoes thrown at him? I mean, it’s so obvious that he has kept us and the rest of the world so safe. Shouldn’t he be a national hero and not some cartoon character that has drifted off of the radar before he is even done with his term? Hell, if it wasn’t for shoe-guy, we wouldn’t even know what GWB was up to these days besides packing.
dk on December 14, 2008 at 9:23 PM
Iraq and Afghanistan are different cases than Lebanon. Both
countries, were critical to the region after 9/11. Saddam was already helping Hamas, and demonstrated the will to kill with WMDs and invade other countries when strong enough.
Saddam was already getting money from the Oil for food program.
And he could have been a real threat…and was.
Thanks to Bush, Saddam was brought to justice for his crimes against his own people.
Afghanistan was OBL’s base, GW not only kept his guy on the
run for 7 years, he has prevented any new attacks on the US.
This is GW’s legacy….and no shoe will erase this fact.
History will only show if both countries continue on the
road to democracy. Folks in these two countries saw Americans lay down their lives for freedom and volunteered
to do so. These sacrifices have endeared US service people
to the hearts of freedom loving peoples in these two countries. What they do with their freedoms now will
take time to judge…but they have it. Thanks to GW and the
US service men and women….
dec5 on December 14, 2008 at 9:24 PM
There were lots of issues that made HST unpopular. Thats not the point is that Truman had the guts to go against what was currerntly popular. You can call the U.S. Civil war by any name but it still made Lincoln unpopular. Lincoln as Truamn went against what was popular and it showed that Lincoln get the same material that Truman had. Still there is no solution brought forth by the democrats and the critics still can’t name one war where mistakes were not made and and even lies committed.
garydt on December 14, 2008 at 9:25 PM
All that shows is that you’re unable to make a sensible point about much of anything. Unfortunately, that’s all to common since sneering jerks like Rush Limbaugh started afflicting Republican party rhetoric. It’s why the GOP lost in both 2006 and 2008 also.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 9:26 PM
All I asked was what was Kerry’s plan or any other Demo plan for the Iraq situation????? I also said can you name a war that was poorly planned and lied about in the past? I never get to hear Rush. Rush was around long before 2006 and the Demos have the whole media except a few at Fox so do you favor a monolith media that supports your view?

garydt on December 14, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Iraq and Lebanon actually do have something in common with each other that neither shares with Afghanistan, namely that Iraq and Lebanon were nations created by colonial powers for their own benefit, Iraq by the British so they could better control oil resources there by dividing the nations between Shiites, Kurds and Sunni, and Lebanon by the French who wanted a nation where the Maronite Christians were the majority religious faction that they preferred to have in power, instead of either the Sunni or Shia Arabs there. Afghanistan on the other hand is a nation that’s struggled with being between first Russia and Britain and then a haven for al-Qaeda thanks to the rule of the Taliban. Thankfully the U.S. was able to oust the Taliban, but not able to unite the country under another government. Obama may well regret his campaign’s emphasis on Afghanistan, especially if he thinks he can do what even the Russians couldn’t do using terribly brutal means and force the Afghanis to accept a government in Kabul they don’t like.
Saddam Hussein made a show of supporting Palestinian resistance to Israel, but it was purely for propaganda purposes on his part and it was never a worry for Israel. On the other hand, Iran’s support of Hezbollah in Lebanon is a real concern for Israel and thanks to the war in Iraq Iran’s strategic hand has been strengthened thanks to a Shiite government coming to power in Iraq that’s on far friendlier terms with Iran that Saddam Hussein was.
starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 9:39 PM
Still starfleet doesn’t not answer the question on what is to be done now or what could have been done back in 04. Starfleet still doesn’t answer which war in history didn’t suffer lies and mistakes.

starfleet_dude on December 14, 2008 at 9:41 PM
Well, I was actually speaking of the respected opposition. It is hard to comment when the thread is so long.
Cindy Munford on December 14, 2008 at 9:42 PM
garydt, continuing to contain Saddam Hussein would have kept him and his ambitions at bay just as they had since 1991.
Regarding war and mistakes, sure mistakes happen in any war. That doesn’t mean we can’t judge wars as being either successes or failures in terms of their stated objectives. Going to war in Iraq was not necessary for our security as a nation and certainly the expense has been a burden we now find we can ill afford.

“Peace Democrat”? They were also called Copperheads, and their equivalent was seen during GWB’s years in office.

docob on December 14, 2008 at 9:45 PM
50 million people free…Libs ignore it.
7 years of no 9/11 repeat attacks…Libs hate GW even more.
7 years of GDP growth…..and Libs refused to regulate sub prime loans in Fannie Mae….regardless from pleas from
GW and the Republicans…..
The Economy tanks…and the Libs and the Press blame Bush.
But regardless of the constant attacks…GW smiles with
dignity and peace, in front of irrational hatred by outside
ememies and the Libs……
GW’s actions speaks louder than his bashers can yell their lies. We all know he did good….
Now it is the Liberals turn to solve problems….now they
will just throw money at it…..our money.
It will be an interesting 4 years…to see how the Libs
defend their actions against their critics…
dec5 on December 14, 2008 at 9:48 PM
I feel the criticism of the war has been fully explained by many the last few years. No one has denied that. You still have not proposed on what should be done since then or what to do now. Many at the time thought it was necessary and our security was at stake. You saying it wasn’t doens’t make it so.
garydt on December 14, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Total bullshit. The sanctions were failing, with some nations ignoring them while the rest of the world condemned them. Remember the reports of babies dying due to lack of medication?

I am pretty sure for the most part they don’t read the replies. They have their points to get across and don’t much care what you have to say. As to answering real live questions, what if they were wrong? Can’t have that, so they stick with what they know is true.

There weren’t any WMDs. Saddam Hussein really did destroy them after the Gulf War as he was required to. Sure, he harbored delusions about someday having them again, but he wasn’t remotely close to ever having them.

No thanks, I know we don’t agree, you aren’t going to change my mind and I won’t change yours. You are just a thread enhancer. But you still haven’t answered garydt’s question so why so anxious to engage me? I must appear to be easier prey.

We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.

Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real.
