From now on, all visitors to the president will be barefoot.
Adding: The thrower had really good aim and a very short "reload" time, suggesting to me that this was not his first time throwing a shoe. Have you ever thrown a shoe? It's kind of hard to get a good grip unless you really know what you're doing.
Also, Bush's reflexes were excellent.

What a loser. And I don't mean Bush ...even though I'm hugely in the minority on this site! ;-)
I agree about the quick reflexes - that was my first thought as well.
One of the reporters got a black eye from a microphone? I hope shoe-thrower got a matching one.
I think the secret service didn't react because no one wanted to go down in security history as the guy who took a loafer for the President.
I'd pay real money to be at the Secret Service debriefing on this.
Meanwhile, best line I've seen on this topic: "The insurgency is in its last throws."
I'd pay real money (if I had any) to throw a shoe. I'd go for a stiletto.
But then, I'm a bad person.
