Bush Ducks Like A Champ

George Bush got the old Richard Perle treatment.

A few years back Perle was onstage mouthing off about his neo-con highness and some audience member threw his shoes at Perle. Nobody got hit and Perle got a sense of the keen dislike that his presence generates.

Bush secretly visited Iraq and the only way Bush could possibly enter Iraq is secretly, its such a mess.

As Bush enters post presidential office speaking engagements, he may have to frequently draw on his shoe ducking ability. Maybe the secret service will make audience members leave their shoes and anything that can be thrown at the door.

KansasCity.com: Dodging shoes, Bush says more work is needed in Iraq
On an Iraq trip shrouded in secrecy and dissent, President George W. Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the unpopular war that defines his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of opposition to his policies when a man hurled shoes at him during a news conference.

"This is the end!" shouted the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

Bush ducked both shoes as they whizzed past his head and landed with a thud against the wall behind him.
