Josh Marshall raises an interesting point:
But watching the video of the Iraqi journalist throwing his shoes at President Bush, I could not help but notice that it took an uncomfortably long period of time for anyone to get to the assailant and, even more, much longer than I would have expected for anyone who looked like Secret Service to get to the president and block his body or get him out of harm's way.Not to mention, the guy got two rounds off at the president before anyone got to him, and they still didn't get to the president by then. And as an aside, did anybody else notice how the Iraqi leader just stood there, as the shoes were flying, not even blinking, like this was just another day at the office?
