Today at a news conference in Iraq, President Bush (along with Nuri al Malaki, the Iraq President) sought to extoll the virtues of a safer, less violent Iraq.
An (apparently) embittered Iraqi reporter had other ideas. Not only did he heckle Bush with angry rantings of how he felt, he also issued to Bush the apparent worst insult a Middle Easterner can summon -- he threw his shoes at the President. In fact, the reporter was apparently a good shot, as Bush had to duck to miss at least one of the flying pieces of footwear. I do admire a man with good aim! Especially if the target is well worthy...
I do wonder about the shoes though. Smelly, or not? And, will more follow? How else will people, American and otherwise, choose to show the outgoing President their utter disdain? I doubt we've seen the last bizarre act meant to catch attention and embarrass the fellow!
