An Alternate Reality: George W. Bush Gets Hit With a Shoe

By now, everyone has seen the infamous video of a disgruntled Iraqi journalist hurling not one, but two loafers at George W. Bush’s head and narrowly missing his mark.

 

In the aftermath of the attack (if one can really call it that), the media and government have been left with many unanswered, hard-hitting questions: Who was the man? Why did he do it? What did he hope to achieve?

 

While all of these questions are perfectly valid, there’s only one that has plagued my every waking moment since viewing the clip: Why, oh why did the shoe not land smack-dab on Bush’s ugly mug?

 

Seriously, at such close range, it’s a nigh mathematically impossibility to miss. But yet, the man did…

 

Thankfully, my dream scenario, one in which Bush tastes sole, has been made a reality through the power of, uh, video trickery (READ: photo-editing software).

 

Enjoy.
