#1 By all means sell it.
That's $10million that will never find its way to Hamas at least.

#4 Just to let the Soddies know, I have the shoes, and I'm taking bids now. No Euros either.

#5 Allegedly, the shoe thrower ended up in the room next to the press conference, and before it was over, "was loudly screaming and crying like a baby."

Now, in custody, he is alleged to have several broken ribs and a broken arm, and has been turned over to the Americans who feared that the Iraqis would beat him to death.

No word on his shoes, other than he is probably not wearing any, and won't for quite a while, unless they are US provided Keds (made in China).

#7 proving, again, that Suadis are incapable of behaving in a manner consistent with a civilized society. They deserve the sh*tholes they live in.

#8 Actually I feel bad I wrote what I did above. All Saudi people don't deserve to be tainted by the actions of this man. We have plenty of liberal idiots in this country who probably take glee in this as well.

Besides, I am amused by the fact that they are using this man as their poster-child. He missed. Twice. Can you think of any greater symbol of their impotence him allowing Bush to show off his quick reflexes and then just dismiss this reporter with the wave of his hand as an insignificant fool.

#9 Tell Bush to let me know the next time he's in town and we'll split the money...

#11 Duh, Bushies seem unaware that Bush-the-genius is only weeks away from positioning himself on Boards of companies that eat Saudi crap. His family has delivered a fiduciary relationship with the Wahabi terrorist entity for 3 decades.

#12 Please enlighten us, noble Jitch. Just what companies might you be referring to? Please supply names, and reference to these upcoming board appointments.
