Your daily schadenfreude: President Bush assaulted with shoes on surprise visit to Baghdad. Maybe it's just me, but I just can't understand what this gentleman could possibly be angry about. Sorry - sarcasm doesn't look good on most people, but there are times when it is the only possible reaction to bury eight years of frustration.
UPDATE: someone else much funnier than I (on the Jezebel forums) has written that this is "one small shoe from man, one giant shoe from mankind."
The most common response to it that I've seen is to quote Austin Powers - "Who throws a shoe?" Yours is much more classic and much more a propos, though.
Is it just the former English major in me, or is there a very nice resonance here with the "shoe" stuff in the movie "Wag the Dog"?
