Bush had just finished his prepared remarks in which he said the security agreement was made possible by the U.S. surge of troops earlier this year, whhen the journalist, Muthathar al Zaidi pulled his shoes off and hurled them at the president. "This is a goodbye kiss, you dog," Zaidi shouted.

Its still disrespectful, no matter how much you hate him or how much wrong he has done. And it isn't as if Bush's 8 years as President was a total failure (although many of us believe so). Bush is still President of the world's most powerful country...the least you can do is show him a little respect. That man who threw the shoe didn't make Bush a dog...it made himself and his country the dog. How embarassing. There's a reason why America and Iraq are on the opposite ends of the political and technological spectrum.

Whose image was made bad by this incident?
Small point I want to make - reaction times of Bush's SS bodyguards were very slow. Meaning that two shoes were thrown in succession, yet no SS made a move to properly cover the President/block the shoes. If it had been something otherwise than a shoe, Bush and al-Maliki could have been in far serious danger.
