George Bush shoe-dodging video

I usually try not to post about things you've already seen a gabajillion times, but the George Bush shoe-throwing incident really warrants a comment. When I first read about this story on Monday, I cycled through a full range of emotions and opinions.

One: haha, awesome.
Two: hey actually, that's pretty disrespectful, bad move.
Three: okay perhaps it was disrespectful, but it was a non-violent way to protest the U.S. occupation of Iraq and get the media to pay attention for once.
And finally, Four (after watching the actual video, posted below): holy shit, he throw that shoe hard! Non-violent, my ass! It would've broken Bush's nose if he hadn't ducked with the reflexes of a wack-a-mole! Haha, awesome.
