关于人格魅力-美国总统Bush的君子风度

在纽约时报看到一篇题为”Iraqi Journalist Hurls Shoes at Bush and Denounces Him on TV as a ‘Dog’“的文章。


布什在伊拉克出席一个记者会，被一电视台记者扔鞋子。

当袭击布什的电视台记者被伊拉克安保人员架出去一阵痛打之时，布什表现得像一个谦谦君子。他接受了现场伊拉克记者们的道歉，并且为了缓和气氛，开玩笑说：

“我能报告大家的就是，这鞋子是10码的。”

他接着说，这个意外是民主的迹象，“在自由社会里，人们就是这么做的，为了吸引大家的注意力。”

尽管我和你一样不是很喜欢布什，但不得不佩服他的涵养。换了我，肯定也脱下鞋子还击，然后找几个狙击手谈谈。

from nytimes:

Other Iraqi journalists in the front row apologized to Mr. Bush, who was uninjured and tried to brush off the incident by making a joke. “All I can report is it is a size 10,” he said, continuing to take questions and noting the apologies. He also called the incident a sign of democracy, saying, “That’s what people do in a free society, draw attention to themselves,” as the man’s screaming could be heard outside.
