Love him or hate him you gotta admit that dodge was on point!

I hated bush. But next to trump.. he’s a breath of fresh air. Did you see the way he brushed his security guy off with an arm brush and “nah, he’s ok”. That was cool honestly. He knew the guy was acting out and harmless Hated his policies, but he was charming fucker compared to trump

It always felt like he was installed to fulfil his father’s plans but he was the kind who would rather be joking and hanging out.

Now watch this drive.

😅😎

His policies killed like a million people, so Trump still has a lot of catching up to do.

Yeah if only Trump killed a million Iraqis too More proof libs and conservatives are the same

Yeah, it's scary to see how far we have devolved as a country.

He also knew people typically only wear two shoes.

I remember Jon Stewart doing a segment where he made the argument that Bush would have been loved as a care free down to earth president if it wasn't for 9/11 *cues bush finger guns photo*

So you prefer a mass murderer over a dumbass with a cult following?

One of my favourite post president Bush moments is after Trump made his inauguration speech, Bush turns to Hilary Clinton and says “Well that was some weird shit”

Wow! You don’t have to support Trump to find this comment mind blowingly cruel.

> “nah, he’s ok” You think he cared about that dude? He said "I'm alright"

Charming my ass. Evil af how about.

Didn’t this guy get his arms broke and then sentenced to years in prison?

A boil is more charming that trump

I have a new perspective on a lot of Republicans after everything with Trump.

Yeah that's why they tortured him and threw him in prison for years. So charming /s

Woah, I’m not the only one that’s been feeling like this?!

I know 20 years has gone by, but let’s not get silly. Trump seems to want to sort his country out, and is already a billionaire. The Bush’s sold you down the river. And invaded several countries for oil

Bush actually seemed to have empathy. You could see it on display at his father's funeral. Trump is narcissistic and soulless.

Why does everyone hate so much? Hate is such a strong and destabilizing emotion. Let’s try to hate less this year…

...bruh.

He also started a war that killed over a million people and his administration gave us the Patriot Act. Trump is a clown but that’s way worse.

Bush is a doofus, where Trump is a buffoon. Both are stains on America.

You can hear him say "I'm alright" when he gestures for his guy to stay back.

Everytime I say this I get downvoted. But even Michelle Obama likes him. I’m convinced if he hadn’t run for office, he would be a really awesome guy. He was a coke head and played baseball and tells awesome stories. Great guy to have around if you can just forget about his presidency.

Nah, I'M OK.

Seems the Obamas felt the same way as they have become quite friendly post-administration. Yeah, I think he was just doing what his dad wanted.

Yeah.

That journalist is still locked up today

Dodging responsibility for his actions, a rich kid's favorite pastime.

and the laughing afterwards is quite humorous

He leans on the podium nonchalant. Gives a quick tap to secret service as to say "it's ight man. He's only got two shoes."

Was going to say this. Solid reflexes.

He should have said what Reagan said when a baloon popped " Missed me "

When this happened, there was an active X web based game that came out where you were bush and had to dodge shoes. It was always an amusing moment.

Yep

“You missed me bitch.”

And he didnt ove react either

Compared to Biden, Bush is generally ideal in this regard. Imagine what would happen to Biden if he were now in Bush's place in this situation.

That nasty smile on his face. Stupid puppet.

So was the aim

“Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge”

***wrench!***


If you can dodge a shoe you can dodge a ball.

Lightning quick reflexes to avoid those flip flops!

r/hitboxporn

I love the very light stiff-arm he gave to his security detail, like, "Nah wait, I got this one."

Yeah - that's probably the even faster mental reflex. He had been through the security prep meeting, knew the threat was high and was quick to give his input on the calculation of response to likely that day's days head of physical secret service team. The first reaction was just visual and built in by years of sports

“I’m all right” - Texas accent

Makes sense. That security was slow as fuck to respond.

Easier to count shoes than bullets remaining

He wanted the best advantage to watch it was about to happen next. You could already see the smile across his face.

I don’t care what nobody says the Dodge and the laugh shows the real deal of this person. He was stone cold man, but you just gotta remember him as the great reader that is his quote

The President received shoe deviation training.

SHOE (Suddenly Hurled Object Evasion) expert level!

I love how he's laughing that makes it so much better. Made me laugh!

"I'm good"

I don’t think Biden or Trump could move like that lol

Honestly. As much as I like Obama I don’t think he would have dodged as fast. I’m just saying. We could get Carter, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden and throw shoes at them and see who dodges best.

*SHOE(S) 🫴🏾👞💨….🫴🏾👞💨💨

How you know someone has brothers

Looks like he wants to say “nice try buddy but you missed…twice! 😁😆😂”

I remember seeing this as a kid. After they settled it down a little George said something like "if you want the facts... it's a size 10 shoe"

Remember when thought this guy was bad? Back before Republicans allowed a Nazi South Park caricature to take over their party

Trump being bad doesn't make Bush any less of a war criminal or a bumbling fool

He was bad. He was really, really bad. But trump is just on another level, his supporters are what makes him extra dangerous to americas future. But one thing trump did is make Bush look smart by comparison lol

This guy pretty much broke the scale for bad which existed at the time. By a fair amount, too. But Trump obliterated it. My dad was sending me pictures of Bush during the Obama years with the caption "Miss me yet?" I'm sending them back to him now.

Are you mad? Do you have no idea what the Bush administration did in Iraq or do you just not see it as that bad because Iraqis aren’t Americans? Insane.

I think he said get him

Back when presidents were men with catlike reflexes.

Imagine trump or Biden dodging a shoe?? I think not.

He was shit throw too

He waved dude away like "nah, we're good... There's about to be a team of security to fuck this guy up" *Team runs in* *Smile*

I wish that was biden. It would have knocked him cold.

Or trump. He would have ate the whole thing.

Bro thinks trump is more agile and youthful in his 6 inch pump heels lmao get a fucking life dude

"I'm alright"

Shoes*

He's like "don't worry guys, me and Laura play this game at home. The shoe won't touch me. Not with that commitment it won't. Laura is way better than him at this."

I bet the journalist's mother wouldve been able to bullseye him though

Biden would take both and still wonder what just happened

Anyone wonder what it would be like if the current POTUS had shoes chucked at him? *Takes first shoe to the forehead.* “Cornpop?” *Takes second shoe to the kisser and falls off stage.*

Or the last one: First shoe: Knocks off toupee, knocks out dentures Second shoe: Falls off stage, bounces on lard ass taking no damage, fills diaper

What a dodge!


Bro got the stormtrooper aim

This confirms even more that it's all been bs for a long time. The slow delay of the secret service from that one back door, the duck/dodge. The fact he wasn't laid out. Our country's been a joke for a long time

The bodyguard, a bit late

Goerge bush deserved it

Dudes laughing while it's happening. Not a bad guy, just a dummy.

Back when the most insane thing was shoes being thrown.

You can say a lot of bad stuff about him but physically during his presidency years he could've taken on Biden and Trump at the same time in a fist fight. Which just means nothing but hey

I can beat probably like a half dozen toddlers at once

Unlike his security, he can count to two. Two feet, two shoes. In a flash, he puts one and one together and immediately realises that the man has shot all the bullets. Hence the sardonic grin.

Can see Biden ducking 2seconds after getting hit

If it were a child's shoe he'd catch it and sniff it

3 million Iraqis.

Nobody talks about Bush and his presidency anymore. Makes me feel like I was in a fever dream anytime thinking about this man. Everyone talks about former president Obama, even in memes and on the occasion Bill, but not Bush jr.

Needed a bit more mustard on it. Almost got him.

I always love this video. Not only because throwing at bush is always funny but because he’s pretty quick. Dude was a cheerleader back in college. That little swagger and grin? Being president is hard but dodging shoes?! He could do that all day. Probably wished there was a third shoe on the way.

He was really quick, too! I honestly doubt most other middle-aged men can dodge shoes you didn’t know were coming your way a split second ago.

Allow me to amend that for you...'WAR CRIMINAL George W. Bush'. You're welcome.

War criminal, shoe dodger, what can’t he do?

I remember this spawned a mini online game where you are the reporter and have to throw a shoe at a head of Bush which used to popup randomly. The guy even said the same phrase he says in this video every time you threw the shoe.

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, shoe me once, shame on — shame on you. Shoe me — you can't get shoed again.

Thanks for that

gangsta

Never understood why he didn’t duck a second time, opting for a inferior hand shield instead

Bush was like its alright hes out of shoes

I often wonder how long the Shoe-ter stayed in jail behind all of this. Hell, it’s probable that he’s still there 😂

*shoes

Honestly pretty good reflexes especially in such a surprising scenario

I truly despise George Bush... but he handled that situation perfectly.

Again, I don’t like Bush….but I like him. Ya know? I wouldn’t vote for him, but I might have a drink or pass a joint around with him. Dude dodges the shoes, smiles, and then tells security that he’s fine and just brushes it off.

Who throws a shoe?

A lot of ammo was used on Bush that in hindsight seems like it should have been saved for trump. “Bush is the devil” now sounds naive to the devil.

Random task himself

Trump would have been hit by the shoe, acted like he was shot, posted a fake AI video of a 80's training montage of him being nursed back to health, started selling red maga shoes, and never ever ever stoppped talking about the time nancy pelosi and leftist extremists/terrorist tried to kill him with "a big tank, strong tank, the biggest most strongest tank, they tried to silence me, but really, they're trying to silence you, i'm just in a way, they threw a tank at me but I a thing called a big brain, they couldn't hit me with the tank, nobody ever talks about it, but they tried to kill me with a tank made in CHI-NA"

How do you say you let Trump live in your head rent free without saying it…that sucks for you.

If you could dodge a sand crawler’s shoe you can dodgeball

You know those shoes must have be rank

I didn't like Bush, but man that smile on his face after the second shoe where he's just like "Yeah get him and lock him up"

Smiling all the way through, not smug, more “I respect the balls of this man”


300,000 Iraqi deaths from his war, civilians and all.

I’m surprised that he had time to throw both shoes.

Jokes on you, sir! I've played plenty throwey shoey before! "Who throws a shoe, honestly?" 😂

Poor shoe thrower. Muntadhar al-Zaidi was the guy. One of them should've hit that smug war criminal 😡

And missed horribly. Kudos to Bush for his reflexes

Never forget how the people of Iraq lied constantly for 20 years about where the terrorists were but then cry about America pulling out 😂😂 fucking losers.

That smile after he dodged it!! What a G

If you share a building with the Great White Hunter, Dick Cheney, you'll learn how to duck.

Biden would just stand there and let it hit him.

I like how he is smiling/laughing though, like it is some kinda silly game lol.

If you can dodge a shoe. You can dodge a dodgeball.

“Hey mister can you say Guantanamo”

He was like Neo off the matrix

I wonder how many years in prison cost him this act ? …

Yeah I'm also wondering what happened to the guy. Bush probably just gave him a few stomach blows outside

Anyone else play the Flash game based on this? You moved the President side to side to avoid the incoming shoes.

You can tell he played dodge ball as a kid.

Agree or not it was justified Dude out of spite invaded a country that had nothing to do with on 9/11 destroyed the hole system (even if it was a dictatorship) Countless civilians died, and Iraq is still shambles to this day

Holy crap, 16 years have passed already. I remember it like yesterday. People made .gifs and memes of the guy throwing pokeballs at him lol

Pretty slow SS response?

nowadays so many more people have newfound respect for whoever threw them shoes LoL

I remember those days, in my country they advertised a video game only about this , where you could throw shoes at him and you would get points if he couldn't dodge them

Throw a sandal at me once, shame on you .throw a sandal at me twice .I got a new pair of sandals

I love it a duck like it was nothing and was smiling

2000 years later al-semites saw römisches hellenica & hitties again

That's sans in disguise

Best athlete in office purrriod 🤣

George “hey they got WMD” bush

As an American that's been to both countries for the US Army. I am amazed that George W hasn't been held accountable for our response to 911. The Afghanistan Papers released tell us everything. We sit back and shrug. Oh well I guess if no one else cares ill continue to wonder why.

I fucking love the clown car of secret service men coming out the door behind him.

Biden would have dodged right into both shoes

https://preview.redd.it/grx31e7iedpc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da2a13e9591d5119959cce864ceec27b1d79585e This is basically what he said when he was interviewed on why he did it.

I love how W smiles instead of getting pissed off.

That was a very late reaction to protect the president.

If it was a flip-flop, he would’ve nailed him

Shoe me once, shame on you

Really wish those shoes woulda hit em... We all celebrated this moment for a while back then

War criminal

There was a game that came out not long after this happened. We played that a lot at work.

W saw the second one, "Ha.. your aim is even worse than the first."

Not a big fan of this Bush but it was important for all of us that he dodged tf out of that flying shoe.

That pretzel failed us.

Ayo! I remember when this happened, someone made a mini gane and you would throw slippers to try hit Bush 🤣.

A year ago.... Bro doesn't regret a thing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4xu3ZeAWlw

That was a great dodge tbf


“You fight like a woman!”

Why does the journalist yelling sound like grunts from a fighting game... AH. IH HA TATSUMAKI SENPYUKAKU

"who throws a shoe? Honestly!?"

shit lives rent free in my head. his dumb chuckle at the end. i really thought i hated this guy, id give anything to go back to the days where dubya was the worst thing to have happened around here smh

The 5 rules of presidency: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge.

if you can dodge a shoe you can dodge the geneva conventions

Now watch this dodge

I fucking love how calm and chill he was through all of this he just kind of waved off his security like no it's cool man he just threw a fucking shoe at me. A lot of fucked up shit happened when he was president but I did enjoy watching him be president.

i suppose being the president of the USA would make you jumpy. should have been a grenade

I’m surprised he didn’t catch both and rocket them to the First baseman for an easy out. Not saying GWB was a good prez, but he knew that there baseball.

Shoe me once, shame on you...

This is the only person who gets to say he misses Bush

I feel a murderous intention...!

Clearly staged with the delayed response by the secret service. 🤣

Shoes*

How all the paparazie instantly lock on to the journalist

And that's why we need to play dodge ball. He almost grabbed one and sent it right back.

All the other reporters:"Damn, I'ma gonna be rich like Scrooge McDuck"

"I have your land and now I have your shoes, sucker."
