Lets remember this wasn't some random thing. In Arabic culture, throwing shoes at someone is considered the biggest of insults.

"This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog," the journalist shouted (in Arabic), Steven Lee Myers of The New York Times reported in a pool report to the White House press corps.
If only those were knives and not shoes,It would have hit him for sure.:(

HAHA bush!! this guy is a legend. see they reactions!!! he should be out on the front line. and the comeback "i can only report it was a size 10" comedy! feel sorry for bush, hes a good laugh and like, the most hated guy in the world.
hes has kept the US safe after the unprovoked attack on the towers.. give him some credit. and the terrorists arent gonna stop just cause bush is away. they are talkin against obama, who firstly is black and secondly has hussien as his middle name. they dont care whos in charge and have no objectives other than hate.

The flash looked like a camera flash to me
As for who pulled him down, could've been another journalist or someone who thought he might have a weapon (other than his shoes), maybe they have security guards sat amongst them when Bush has these press conferences?

Bush has some really good monkey reflexes. And the follow-up joke was a killer. Kudos for that.
