Sailing Shoes & Secret Servicemen Shown Sleeping!
Everyone is talking about how President Bush had two shoes thrown at him during a news conference in Iraq, but the bigger question I find is where were the Secret Servicemen after the 
first shoe went sailing? If you look at the video, it’s not until the President ducked the second shoe that a good three or four seconds pass before two Secret Servicemen get up and go toward the president while it takes yet another second or two before the door on the right opens and the other Secret Servicemen come out and rally around President Bush.
Aren’t these people suppose to be constantly observing the crowds, constantly on their toes ready for any unforeseen possibility that may arise….such as a shoe sailing toward the head of the President? Were they lax because, afterall, this 
man only has a little more than a month left in office? Or were they sipping Iraqi tea and eating biscuits instead of doing their job?
These are just a few of the questions going through my mind as I watch the video shown over and over again. I thought that the SS’s mission was to take a bullet for the President….so why wasn’t one of them taking a shoe for the President? If it had been a gun aimed at President Bush instead of footwear, or if there was a bomb in one of the shoes, would we be preparing a State funeral right now instead of talking about how agile the President was in dodging the so-called bullet!?!
Maya Muses: From the looks of it, all future new conferences with the media, reporters will have to take off their shoes at the door, or else wear slippers! Or the White House will have to get Kevin Costner to show those SS guys a thing or two! He did a much better job protecting Whitney Houston as The Bodyguard

This is sooo funny…
I can picture all men in socks…including the Secret Servicemen….
(by the way;why are they called secret?Secret to whom?)
Or they could have those cute slippers who looks like a bear,a cat, or a bunny!
Funny slippers!Yeah…They will start having fun,laughing at their silly slippers,instead of being so darn serious…maybe the world would look totally different then?

LOL!!! I like your scenario better! You’re right, how can you talk about serious issues when you’re wearing funny slippers!
