At a press conference in Iraq, a citizen chucked both shoes at Bush. This is considered in Iraqi culture to be an extreme insult.
A CNN commentator declared Bush was no lame ducker.
Considering that we all have to remove our shoes to pass through airport security after the shoe bomb incident, how will this change the security protocol for press conferences. Will we be seeing barefoot journalists? Or will we design special restraints that clamp their feet to the ground? In what spectacular way can we over-react?
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living. -Terry Pratchett
