4. Yeah, but only a silver medal...
The dude missed. He gets a silver for effort, but if he had pegged him with a really good toss, then he'd get a gold.

5. I think this Iraqi reporter is
a hero. As soon as I saw the video I realized what he has done symbolically for us all who thinks bush is guilty of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity.

Called bush a "dog", too, which is suppose to be a big insult over there.

I think "stupid asshole" is more fitting.

My son said we should tape it and loop it over and over on a DVD and give it out as a Christmas gift.

10. I guess he mistook 'throwing flowers at our feet' for something else.
Lost in translation, I guess.

18. that guy has more balls than the entire U.S. Congress . . .
who should have been throwing things like impeachment resolutions at Bush for at least the past, oh, three years -- or more . . .

too bad the guy missed . . . and too bad they were'nt horseshoes . . . or a pair of Shaq's sneakers . . .
