I actually just got around to watching the original video, and it cracks me up that the reporter could easily substitute for your typical liberal protester. Big talker when he thought he was safe, but as soon as he gets tackled, you can hear him screaming like a girl. Just like "don't taze me bro" and all the other bigmouths that lose it as soon as they get stuck taking responsibility for their actions. If you're gonna talk big and hurl your shoes, at least cowboy up and take it when they tackle you. The girl voice ruins your attempted effect of indignant outrage.
I haven't been happy with Bush over the last 4 years, but I gotta hand it to the guy, he handles situations like this better than 90% of the other politicians out there. Not only did it not phase him, but I saw where he jokingly made the comment, "All I can report is that it was a size 10". The liberals in my office were talking about this today and praising the reporter, but even they were admitting, "gee, the guy had fast reflexes" albeit it somewhat disappointedly as they were hoping for a hit.
