SHOEGATE

After having spoken with Jambo earlier I was compelled to list the following link at the bottom of this post. He mentioned that he hadn't even heard of the incident, let alone seen it. The president made a surprise visit to Iraq, presumably his last as PoTUS; and he held a joint press conference with the Iraqi PM. At some point during the "presser", an Iraqi journalist stands up and throws a shoe, at high velocity, at the presidents head! Which Dubya dodged like a champ, I might add. Then he reaches down, takes off his other shoe and throws it, again at Bush's head. Then walks off, WALKS now, until a few steps later some of his fellow country men tackled him to the ground, he was later arrested. My question is, WHERE IN THE HELL WAS THE SECRET SERVICE? This has got to be the clearest breach of presidential security since Ronnie was shot. The seconds between the first and second shoe is an eternity in terms of a special highly trained agent getting a shot off. No one even jumped in front of the president ... NOTHING. Check it out ... twice. I have all the respect in the world for the highly skilled Treasury agents that protect the first family et al, but if I'm Bush or his chief of staff, that team is pulling counterfeit duty in North Vancleve by noon tomorrow.
