"I'm OK. All I can report is a size ten." - W
So bizarre, on so many levels. The guy throws a shoe. Misses. Then another shoe. Misses. Somewhere off camera, just before the shoe-flinger is taken down, a woman screams.
The best part, though, by far, is Bush's follow-up shrug. It's a shrug that will go down in history.
Reminds me of the 2003 Schwarzenegger egg incident. As Arnold said at the time, "It's just part of the the free speech."

I heard he was quite a dodgeball player in his pre-alcoholism days.
I'll be missing the fun times we had with him.
He said for a man to throw his shoes was no different than the man who waves at him and forgets to use "all" five fingers.
RE Schwarzenegger egg incident
What I heard Arnold say after he was hit on his should with a raw egg, just before his speech at CSULB (California State University, Long Beach), was "I prefer sausage with my eggs!" Arnold promptly took off his jacket and went on with his speech.
