From NY Mag's Ten Reasons the Shoe Attack Was Awesome: “Because whatever you think of George Bush, he ducked those shoes like a frigging Japanese game-show contestant.”  True! Kudos on the quick reflexes, Mr. President.

The guy who threw the shoes is a 28-year-old journalist. When he threw them he said, “This is a gift from the Iraqis; this is the farewell kiss, you dog!” and “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq!” The guy's brother told the Times that he hates the occupation so much that he canceled his wedding and vowed not to marry until the US is out of Iraq.

He's been dodging responsibility his whole life. Is this really that shocking?

He deftly avoid those shoes, which are easily the most adroit moves of his presidency.

At least Dana Perino got a little karmic justice from the sounds of the video report!
