Lol.
He should have thrown the shoes THEN shouted the insult, he probably had a chance of hitting his head!
Don't let the whitehouse door hit your arse on your way out, Dubya!
THE most beautiful statement made this year BY ANY JOURNALIST
This Journalist is a master of his trade
He summed up the entire situation in a "one liner"
Well timed , Short sharp and right on the mark, got the story captured
in one sentence
BEAUTIFUL work

Actually, it doesn't make much sense. *What* is the "farewell kiss"?
Does that phrase have some additional meaning to Arabs/Iraqis? Or did he
shout it in Arabic, and the English translation is poor?

In Arab cultures (incorrectly reported as 'Arabic culture' on ABC
radio this morning) it is considered an insult if someone shows their
feet to you, apparently.
Perhaps it does lose its meaning in english
It is a traditional insult of the highest order in many Muslim
cultures
A farwell of throwing his shoes as Bush was saying goodbye was so well
timed and appropriate
Its a Muslim thing to make your point in a symbolic short statement
Muslim culture adopt many similar situations , that get preserved for
centuries in the culture as very short sharp " stories " that carry a
truck load of meaning if you understand them and this one liner will
soon be included in Muslim " stories " as a one liner with a train
load of meaning
There are entire books full of similar probably true very short
stories each which are pregnant with meaning to those who care to
stop and think
English have very similar short stories that have or did have a
message but are often seen as kids stories now
Like "3 little pigs and" and " red Riding Hood " almost certainly are
lessons presented in short stories , to mention a few very basic
versions
Arabs IMHO , tend to capture the message in very few words , but to
an Arab would need no explanation
I think EVERYBODY got the message in this brave professional
Journalists message
He will win the Journalist of the YEAR for this one line

So showing his feet was the farewell kiss?
If so, wouldn't he have said "*this* is the farewell kiss"?

So, ya think that son of a pig would have dared throw his shoes at Sad Ham,
the Insane? Ya think he'd been alive two hours later if he had? I think like
Ghandi, this little shoat picked his adversary very well.

Being "hit with shoes" is a big deal too. Re-run the tape of Saddam's statue
being toppled and watch what the crowd do as it's dragged down the road.....
that's right, they remove their shoes and start hitting it.
Mental fuckwits, these mohammeadns.
You're the one who said the farewell kiss was the showing of his feet.
The ABC never made that claim.

You don't listen to the right ABC radio station. 6WF said just that
yesterday, although they weren't sure of the facts.
