This guy took pitching lessons from the guys who threw pies at A.C.

Will this guy be tried like Zacarias Moussaoui for shoe bombing? I bet Obama will not want Bush's wide awake Secret Service detail.

I'm pretty sure the first throw was right on target, but Bush quickly ducked. The guy has reflexes. Though a fathead, he's the most fit president ever. The second shoe, which came right after, missed. Throw two things rapid fire, especially shoes, and you're not likely to be as accurate with the second object.

And this guy's career is not over. He's a celebrity. Shooting Bush would have been bad. The act of throwing shoes at him is pretty cool. The saddest thing about this incident is the timing: The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are on break until next year.
 
He apparently said:
It is the farewell kiss, you dog

And according to this article, 'soles of shoes are considered the ultimate insult in Arab culture'.

Which does suggest a lack of imagination (or major problems with the cleanliness of either Arab streets or arab feet).

Is it the same in Russia? Is that why Kruschev did his number with his shoe?

The article was most helpful in explaining the meaning of al-Zeidi's otherwise obscure and incomprehensible actions:

In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt.​

And there was I thinking it was a universal gesture of goodwill.
