    Notice how for the second attack, the Other Guy deftly deflects it with his arm. In fact, overall I think Other Guy is cooler - he is completely unfazed by even the first attack. He merely blinks.

    But yes, excellent dodging on Bush's part.

    For once I must disagree with a negative about our incumbent President G. Bush.

    How would I feel if someone threw a shoe or two at me? That would depend on who threw it, why they threw it, how big or heavy it was.

    My first and primary reaction would probably be shocked, threatened but not insulted. Throwing a shoe would be no more insulting to me than throwing a rock or even a cushion.

    Now eggs, tomatos, rotten vegtables those are insulting.

    Wow, he dodged that **** like the Matrix man... that was amazing! In fact, that is probably the best thing I've seen him do...

    Hey, regardless of our opinion of GWB, we all have to admit he has a pretty good AC vs. Missile Weapons. :D

    BTW, if you visit Café Mozart in Aarhus, Denmark, the café has a 170 cm copy of Bush. If you can hit it with a shoe, drinks are half price. (Link to story in Danish.) :lol:
