    ha!
    When I was in DC for the Inauguration, there was a blowup doll of W, and a bunch of shoes to throw at him like a carnival game.
    It was cathartic....

    Iraq sculpture honoring Bush shoe-thrower removed

    BAGHDAD – The director of an Iraqi orphanage says a sculpture honoring an Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at former President George W. Bush has been removed.

    Fatin al-Nassiri says Iraqi police told her the statue had to be removed from the orphanage in Tikrit because government property should not be used for something with a political bias.

    She says the sofa-sized statue of a shoe was taken down on Saturday after being unveiled on Thursday.

    Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi threw his shoes during a Dec. 14 news conference in Baghdad. Throwing shoes at someone is a sign of extreme contempt in Arab culture.

    This is what was going on in Iraq before the US liberated the country - mass graves, hands tied behind backs, bullets through the head. Makes a shoe seem pretty trite.
