Someone threw a shoe at US president George W. Bush back in the day. That’s pretty much it.

15 years ago. Time flies…

So did the shoe

How does that feel both shorter and longer than it actually was?

Simpler times.

Back when we thought he would be the most stupid president ever.

It was a more innocent time.

He’s definitely not stupid, he put on an act to seem more relatable, but he was still sharp. Still a war criminal tho

I hate that man with a burning fiery passion. But now that we’ve gone so much worse… at times I miss him.

A few years back Will Ferrell resurrected his George Bush impression for Not the White House Correspondents Dinner on TBS.

He strolled on stage, smoking a cigarette, took a drag and said, “How do you like me now?” The whole thing was hilarious.

I don’t, I know Trump was a terrible and treasonous president but the damage the Bush administration caused the world is much worse. Millions of innocent civilians died because of his war on terror, all founded on a lie.

You could definitely give someone a concussion if you hocked a wooden clog at them.

I know I’ve spent too much time in Asia when I see nothing wrong with the picture and needed to go to the comments to find out why. I still don’t get it.

He was giving a press conference and an angry middle eastern guy threw shoes at him (a big insult).

He waved off his secret service, electing to dodge the shoes. To this day I think he was like “finally I get to do something fun”

He was a much nicer war criminal for sure. Likeable guy in a way

“The only regret I have is that I only had two shoes.” -Muntazer al-Zaidi, based king

This is a nice window into the past

I’m still kinda bummed out he was able to dodge both shoes
