‘Remove Your Shoes to Hear (His Excellency)George Bush’(For Real)
Source: Daily Times(Pakistan)

LAHORE: Reporters attending a joint press conference of United States President George W Bush and Afghan President Hamid Karzai were asked to remove their shoes to avoid any ‘untoward incident’, a private TV channel reported on Monday.

A French reporter said that prior to the press conference, Afghan president’s spokesman Saimick Herwai appealed to Afghan reporters to give respect to the US president and address him as ‘his excellency’.

On Sunday, an Iraqi journalist had hurled his shoes and an insult at the US president when he was shaking hands with the Iraqi premier.

2. Oh gee, that's just great.
Oh, gee. That is absolutely great news. As if that no good SOB's head wasn't big enough beforehand. Now people have to remove their shoes and refer to him as "Your Excellency."

Excuse me, I think I have to barf now!

8. They should spitball him with toilet paper.. lol
Now that we have a precedent, I think we'll be seeing more of this in the near future, and not just at Bush, the worst president ever. I'm betting they start making the reporters sit at least 50 feet from the president from now on. :P

11. Not 50 feet. Sixty-one feet.
Then they'll have major league scouts watching and drafting pitchers.
