To reinforce his image, his response to the thrown shoes was to suggest that Mr al-Zaidi was “just trying to draw attention to himself.” Yes that’s it. He might say it was a protest about the war and occupation, but really he’s an exhibitionist who was turned down for Iraq’s Got Talent so he threw the shoes as a desperate attempt to get on the telly.
Look at me!

That’s funny but as I’ve ranted elsewhere, it’s politics that means Bush paints his actions as something they’re not.
What did you expect him to say?
I didn’t expect anything else, really, but well, it’s just so obviously bollox that, why? Why bother saying it?
It’s a game. Shoe throwing is a game and not giving the act credit is part of that political game.
