G.W. Bush Welcomed with shoes in Iraq

Monday, December 15, 2008

The 2008 election is over, but the same dude is still president until January 20, and in the increasingly rare cases when his handlers let him out of his cage for a public appearance, there's always a chance for entertainment.

Case in point: yesterday an Iraqi journalist threw two shoes at President George W. Bush at a news conference during his surprise visit to Iraq. The prez ducked.

Among Muslims, throwing one's shoes at another person, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is apparently considered a major insult.

It could be considered warranted, as the man is not smart. Peep it:
