over the weekend some irate iraqi decided to chuck his shoes at the president, who surprisingly dodged both of them with minimal fuss. mr. bush, if you're reading this, (which you undoubtedly are) while i am not a fan of your political views, i'd like to invite you to join our dodgeball team.
the incident however, begs the question: where the hell were all the secret service agents? i mean, shouldn't one of them have tackled the president while another dove inbetween the president and the shoe (in slow motion yelling "noooooooooo!"), taking a size 9 to the chest? and while the president was already being whisked away in a helicopter, shouldn't that guy have been gang tackled by at least 27 other guys in black suites with really obvious ear pieces almost instantly? instead he reached down, took off his other shoe and threw that one at the president too. what gives secret service?
have i been watching too much 24?
p.s. the iraqi police totally beat the snot out of this guy in the hallway after the incident which is sad ending to an otherwise hilarious story.
