Quite A Feat!
The obvious jokes: Bush looked into the Iraqi sole...
Well, at least Iraqi journalists don't pretend to be "objective".
One serious thought though: This guy was able to throw a shoe at near point-blank range. Bush's rather remarkable reflexes (seriously) prevented him from being hit. But, if the president of the United States is visiting Iraq, shouldn't Americans be confident that he would be safe enough that he wouldn't potentially get beaned by a guy's shoes?
Or is it the case that Secret Service agents are expected to stop a bullet -- but not size 10s?
